we all have a cute or funny nickname we have given to our chihuahua(s) that came about to describe something that is characteristic of them.
teaka the famous chihuahua has several humorous and cute nicknames that are descriptive of her unique and quirky personality. here are some examples:
“mussillu” - a family favorite. pronounced “moo see loo”. italian for “little snout” because her little nose is one of her cutest features. you can see it well in her ‘teaka gets a bath’ video above!
“bella” - italian for “beautiful” because she is a beautiful little chihuahua with a shiny and healthy fur coat.
“pupillu” or “puparella” - nana’s favorite. pronounced ‘poo pee loo’ and ‘poo pa rella’. italian for a little doll, like one might make reference to a little child.
“trouble” - teaka can be quite mischievous at times so we might say to her when she enters a room, “oh look. here comes trouble …”
“killer” - a neighborhood favorite. when teaka goes for a walk she likes to let people know she is boss with her ‘big’ bark.
“the mexican” - teaka is actually from mexico so it just makes sense! (no pun intended!).
“mooch” - pretty self explanatory. she just happens to appear whenever you have food.
“little brown” - we call teaka this because she looks like a little racehorse when she runs, just like “big brown“, the horse that won the 2008 kentucky derby. click here to see famous chihuahua run!
“little girl” - mommy’s favorite, because that’s exactly what she is, my sweet little girl.
selecting chihuahua names for your chihuahua puppy can be loads of fun especially when the entire family gets involved.

i’m writing to introduce you to my micro-sized chihuahua puppy named she-ra, the princess of power. she is named after a cartoon heroine from my childhood, the female counterpart of he-man, master of the universe! i chose her name because she is convinced that she is a giant super-hero. i bought her from a chihuahua breeder at the age of six weeks, and she is now a happy and healthy three months old. she weighs 15.5 ounces and the vet says she might not make it to two pounds at full-grown!
we received our new pink gingham chihuahua harness and leash today that we purchased from the famous chihuahua clothing store and it fits perfectly! i’m so happy to have a darling harness for my baby that fits right! i thought i’d send this photo of baby she-ra wearing it so you can see just how adorable she is and how well it fits her! thank you so much for making a product i can really use and that’s fashionable!
little she-ra’s favorite snacks are pup-peroni’s, and she loves to do tricks to earn tiny bites of them! at just eight weeks old, she was already sitting, laying down and dancing round and round in circles on command.
her favorite play toys are a fluffy stuffed raccoon that she drags around the house everywhere even though its much bigger than her and a little mouse that’s supposed to be for cats. because of her size, its difficult to find toys she can play with which is why the mouse is perfect. it’s funny to see her carry it everywhere by its little tail.
she-ra loves to sleep like a baby in the crook of my arm and prefers that to her bed, but beware of waking her! she will growl fiercely if i try to move her mid-nap. i’ve recorded this on my cell phone and will upload it to youtube as a chihuahua video soon. its incredibly cute, not to mention hilarious, to see such a tiny creature trying to be ferocious!
shre-ra and i belong to the san antonio chihuahua meetup group and had our first play group meeting last saturday where everyone marveled at how lively and sweet she was.
she-ra loves people and kisses everyone! we are stopped everywhere so people can take pictures with their camera phones. here we are at starbucks, where the employees love her and bring her tiny cups with warm milk or water.
thank you again famous chihuahua for the wonderful harness, we love it!
sincerely,
jessica norene and baby she-ra in san antonio, texas.
i am bandito the chihuahua! i am 5 years old and was born in burlington, ontario, but today i live in vancouver, british columbia, canada with my mommy and daddy. last november we moved from a large house where i had my own huge backyard to run and play in that was full of squirrels so it kept me busy chasing them off our property!
we live on the 13th floor of a big building downtown vancouver where i no longer have to worry about chasing off squirrels, but i do have to take an elevator to get outside to find a spot to do my business! i like city living though, even if it did take some time to get used to.
i have a happy home where i am the center of attention at all times and i am very loved and get lots of kisses every day! i love to eat and i want to taste everything that anyone else is eating too! my favorite snacks are cookies, mini carrots, pieces of cheese, and anything on my parent’s dinner plates!
i love to play the “pant game” where mommy or daddy try to put their pants on and i grab the bottoms and pull and tug as hard as i can to keep them from putting their feet through! they always seem to win, but i play this game at least twice a day! i also sleep in a big bed with them and i find a way to sit on their laps at all times!
calvin owensby’s 3-week-old chihuahua puppy precious walks with a limp - but not because of an injury. she has to drag a fifth leg between her hind legs, which protrudes from her stomach. that leg also has six toes.
owensby said he noticed the fifth leg immediately when precious was born, and it shocked him.
“when it came out, it kept coming out, and the foot came out with it,” owensby said. “it surprised me. i didn’t know what to do.”
he said he immediately called the pet hospital in bessemer city. veterinarian john lastellay told owensby he had never seen such a defect. lastellay recommended putting the puppy to sleep, owensby said, but he refused.
“i said, ‘no, you ain’t gonna kill it,’” owensby recalled. “i didn’t want to put it to sleep because that’s something unusual. i’m gonna keep it.”
precious belongs to a litter of five. owensby plans to give the other four puppies to family members.
lastellay told the gazette he might be able to amputate the extra leg when precious gets bigger - at least 4 to 6 months old - but he cannot help her right now. though he has never seen a dog with a fifth leg before, he said he sees similar “genetic abnormalities” from time to time.
“i guess if you practice long enough you’ll see everything,” he said.
lastellay said a normal amputation for a dog weighing less than 30 pounds costs $250 to $300, but he has no idea what kind of procedure precious would require. since owensby is currently unemployed, he said he’ll only go through with the amputation if he can pay in installments.
“if they want the money up front, she’ll just have to live with it, i guess,” he said.
precious’ mother, a 2-year-old chihuahua named baby, had never given birth to puppies before this litter. owensby said she’s recovering quickly, though she stays awake most of the night with her puppies.
