You may or may not have caught a number of news stories that have been bumping around the last few weeks, but Pepper and I are in deep distress over the plight of our brothers and sisters in California. Click here for an MSNBC Story
Apparently, over-indulgent parents who have bought little Heather and Haley Chihuahua's for thier 8th birthday have realized that we are not always the cuddly little lap dogs they thought we were. Now, they are dumping our brothers and sisters off at animal shelters in high numbers. Humans are trying to help by flying us to other areas of the country.
Our race of dogs are smart, fun and easy to care for. However, if you have kids, a lot of strangers in and out of the house or a lot of noises, we tend to not be the best kind of dogs for you to have around. Little kids running around and making loud noises make us nervous. We can get nippy, yappy and loud around kids. Also, when strangers come in the door, we try to protect our owners. We open up the big can of Chihuahua whoop-ass and go nuts...until folks call our bluff and we run behind our owners.
Just because Paris Hilton has a few of us, does not mean we are great for everyone else!
A number of charities have sprung up to fly unwanted Chihuahuas (who could have thunk we could be unwanted?) out of California to other locales. Please, think about spring a few of our brothers and sisters loose from shelters and into the hands of owners who will enjoy us for who we are!
Here is a link to a few...
Help a dog out!
