About me
Greetings, fellow dog enthusiasts! I’m a passionate dog lover with a twist – I’m also a proud vegetarian who has an undeniable soft spot for the adorable and one-of-a-kind Chihuahuas.
My lifelong journey has been filled with the pitter-patter of paws. In fact, I’ve often been lovingly dubbed a “dog dad” by my parents because dogs have been my constant companions since my school days. I can vividly recall a remarkable experience when, in the heart of a South American National Park, about 20 to 30 dogs accompanied me as I rested in a hammock in what might not have been the safest place on Earth. It was nothing short of magical, as I felt their protective presence while I, alone “gringo,” ventured into the unknown.
My early years were marked by the presence of majestic giants like German Shepherds and Belgian Shepherds, alongside my beloved mutts – a mix of Pekingese and something mysterious, a spirited boxer, and another lovable mutt whose lineage was as puzzling as her charming personality. These wonderful companions taught me the bittersweet truth that saying goodbye to a cherished dog is an experience that tugs at the heartstrings. My bond with them transcended the term “best friend.”
With a nomadic lifestyle that saw me relocating from one country to another, I resigned myself to the idea that I might never again have a dog by my side. Yet, there were countless moments when I yearned for a loyal four-legged friend, especially as my children shared in this desire. Determined to make the right choice, we embarked on a quest to find the perfect canine companion for our family.
Despite my enduring love for German Shepherds, practicality led us down a different path. These magnificent dogs struggle in sweltering, tropical climates like Thailand, and I couldn’t bear the thought of being separated from another beloved pet. Then, fate intervened when I made friends with a Chihuahua owner.
Suddenly, in a whirlwind of newfound knowledge, I found myself entranced by these petite bundles of courage with hearts as mighty as lions. Chihuahuas are nothing short of amazing – their tiny frames exude cuteness and fragility, yet they’re always poised to protect their loved ones or voice their opinions. Their diminutive size, matched by their modest appetites, make them easy to care for, further sealing the deal on our decision to welcome a Chihuahua into our home.
In the end, it’s not the size of the dog that matters but the immense love and joy they bring into our lives. So, here’s to a new chapter with our pint-sized, lion-hearted Chihuahua companion, and the adventure that awaits us together!
