It’s one of the funniest sightings in Home Depot. This guy leads a large pit bull and following them, scampering loosely at full speed, a teacup Chihuahua. The guy says he was in Mexico a couple of weeks ago and on a street corner found some people with a basketful of tiny puppies. He brought home this eight-week-old ball of fire.
She couldn’t weigh over a pound, and she’s incredibly cute. Typically, Chihuahuas grow to weigh between three and six pounds, but a mature Teacup usually tops at three pounds.
Here, she’s saying hello to me.
Already, I have enough dogs, and in fact, too many, but suddenly, I want another–a teacup Chihuahua!
The guy explains that Hank, his six-year-old, and calm Pit Bull, tolerates Tachita well. All my dogs would like her, too.
A year and a half ago, I adopted eight-week-old Chase, an adorable puppy that I expected to blossom into a small dog. His rescuer reassured me that he’d remain tiny. Right then, I should have paused and done some homework, for Chase has grown into a muscular mix of Rottweiler/GSD/&etc.
Months ago, a customer in HD asked me, “What would people be without dogs?” I often find myself reflecting on that, and am gobsmacked while imagining us without pets.
Dear Friends: In this gorgeous weather, have a wonderful day. Diana
