dear famous chihuahua®,

I was always thought I was a big dog lover, but in 2005 that changed. As a prosecutor, I went on a raid of a puppy mill where so many sweet little chihuahuas living in the worst conditions I was horrified. We rescued over 85 dogs that day, one of whom was my rescue chihuahua, Louis XIV.

Louis is brown, has big doe eyes, is very muscular, handsome and brave…except when it thunders of course. he runs to his mother and needs to sit on my shoulder with his face hid in my neck. He came into my life weighing only 1.5 lbs. I would take him to work as often as I could and he was so tiny he fit into one of my coworker’s suit jacket pockets.

louis melted the heart of all those he came into contact with. if he was in my office when I met with a victim/witness, his mere presence made us all so much calmer. I believe its because no one wanted to upset the tiny chihuahua sleeping in front of me on my desk.

Now Louis was full of energy and loved to play (as any puppy does), so I decided he might need a buddy. And as such we met Petunia. She is a blond, light golden chihuahua with the sweetest eyes and disposition, she is the best snuggler. Her mother was rescued along with Louis, but she was born afterward. She is every bit the pint size princess chihuahua that she appears, delicate and lady like. She is a major kisser and will spoil everyone with chihuahua kisses.

about 2 weeks ago, i rescued a chihuahua that has brought out the best in me. she has a wonderful personality and is now clam, peaceful and happy. her name couldn’t be more appropriate because she is in fact, precious.

precious came from a bad home where the kids kicked her across the yard and held her by the tail swinging her around and throwing her. the lady’s boyfriend didn’t like her and kicked her.

this is the story of my 8 year old rescue chihuahua chica. she has changed my life for the better, but she would have never come into my life if our other dog had not passed away. the brighter side to this is that even though chica came at a price, I am so glad I was there to take her in and give her a home. she was rescued from the tri county animal rescue that saved her before she was to be put down. I have 3 rescued dogs from this shelter, 2 are chi-mixed.

spread the word, get your chihuahua a “save a life, adopt a shelter pet dog t-shirt!”

chica loves cheese, pickles and black licorice. she also perks up when she hears any toy that squeaks! She sings on command, but cannot carry a tune and is an obsessive licker, but only with me. She will lick you for as long as you let her. She has eaten holes in my favorite blanket, it’s a wool blanket that she thinks is her woobie. As soon as I take out the woobie to take a nap she runs and gets under it for a good and well deserved nap.

When I got Chica from the shelter, she hated almost every human she saw. When I got her home, it took about 6 hours of being growled at, snarled at, and even bit often to get my point across I was not threat. Yes I know you are supposed to let them come to you. The woman over the shelter told me that when she took in Chica, she didn’t see her for 2 weeks, that she hid from her the whole time. I didn’t want that for her.
