what is the average size for that of a chihuahua? i just took mine to the vet for one of her shots and as of now she weighs 5lbs and will probably get up to 7lbs. i just got her 3 weeks ago.

How old is she? Chis can range in size quite a bit. It depends on the parents, the breeder, and just overall the "luck of the draw" with genetics.

Dear dog,
I can not buy anything larger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think that I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to your fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straigt out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing more than doggy sarcasm.

she's only a few months old, born around the last week of october.

She has a bit of growing still to do then. Your vet is right, she will probably be about 6 or 7 pounds as an adult. By my standards- a VERY tiny dog although for chihuahuas, that I believe is about average for pets.

I was told that 3 - 6 lbs was standard...

the weight should be 2-6 lbs (if you want to compete in contests hosted by AKC
