Open Thread: Chihuahua

Hosted by a chihuahua puppy

Man, I don't even know about the chihuahua.

On the one hand, it's a tiny yappy dog that somehow believes it's a big dangerous dog.  It makes a really annoying noise.  It's been so inbred that it's not safe for it to give birth unassisted.  It's goofy-looking.

...On the other hand, chihuahua puppies are ridiculously adorable (see: above), the ones that are sweet are REALLY sweet, and there's something in me that can't help grudgingly respecting anything that tiny that has that much chutzpah.

Open thread!  Chihuahuas: love 'em or hate 'em?  Funny chihuahua stories?  Cool chihuahua facts?  (I know at least a couple!)  Stories of other small dogs that somehow believe they're much bigger than they are?  Share!

Wednesday Reminder!  Open threads are meant to be fun, chatty places to discuss anything that doesn’t “fit” into a deconstruction or other regular thread.  This can be something totally off-the-wall and random, or it can be something interesting that a deconstruction prompted you to think of, but which would be derailing to get into in the deconstruction thread.  When in doubt, move it over here - that’s what it’s for!  

And, like on all threads: please remember to use the "post new comment" feature rather than the "reply" feature, even when directly replying to someone else!
