Chihuahua!

I recently adopted my Chihuahua Vixie Lou from a no-kill shelter near my house, and she is the best dog i have ever had. As soon as i picked her up at the shelter i knew i had to have her, as we connected instantly. They are perfect little dogs if you want a buddy to be by your side AT ALL TIMES(she never wants to be anywhere without me).

She has a good temperament, but does try to act like the "big tough dog" around other dogs, especially large ones. But she is all bark and no bite. She has been super nice to my little cousins, but is a bit weary of grown men for some reason. I do not know if this was because of previous owners or not because she was about 10 months old when we adopted her.

She is the cutest thing i have ever laid eyes on and i love her like she's my child (i do not have real children yet so it is a figure of speech, haha).

She is an amazing dog and i would recommend chihuahuas to anyone looking to adopt.
