Juanita, the Dog of the Day
Name: Juanita
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female Breed: Chihuahua
Home: San Diego, California, USA
 
   Hi all,

    My pet's name is Juanita. A few months ago while web surfing, I chanced upon Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego. I went to their dog fair and came home with Twinkie, soon to be Juanita. She came home as a foster dog, but within one day (ok, one hour), I knew that she was meant to be my little Chichi.

    She was originally found living on the streets and animal control picked her up. She was very timid and withdrawn, but after living with me a month (and my tribe of two dogs, one cat, and eight spayed and neutered feral cats), she was a new dog. She's now so sweet, affectionate, with a smile on her face all the time, and just happy to have a loving home. Her best friend Pepe, also a chihuahua, lives across the street and comes over for a playdate every day! She eagerly awaits his arrival and when he comes in the house, she immediately greets him with kisses. Juanita is my third Chihuahua, my other two lived to the ripe old ages of seventeen and eighteen. If Juanita could talk she would say, "all you out there considering getting a chihuahua - please go to your local shelter or rescue group and take home one of my brothers, or sisters that remain behind. You'll never regret it. And please spay and neuter your pets!" Juanita waits until she hears me start to wake up and she climbs from under the covers to smother me with kisses. Being a chihuahua, she always seems to get her tongue in my nostrils and I definitely wake up! She keeps kissing me and climbing on me until I either jump out of bed or bury my face under the covers. I love my little Juanita, or as I sometimes say, Juanneeeeta! Chihuahuas rule!
