Smalldogarific: A Study of Small Dogs

Small dogs make the people come together! Small dogs make the bourgeoisie and the rebels!

What’s with large birds taking small dogs? Is it because they are 100% delicious?

Here’s a quick guide to keeping your small dogs warm in the winter. I think tip #4 is highly overlooked, “regardless of coat length, many dogs also need boots in cold weather. If your dog frequently lifts up his paws, whines or stops during walks, it is communicating that its feet are uncomfortably cold. Be sure to get your dog used to wearing boots before the cold weather sets in.”

I want to introduce everyone to a very special Chihuahua named Chico! This 5-year old Brooklyn native lives with his companion Stella (who happens to run an animal rescue and placement service called Leader of the Pack!). Stella wrote to me indicating that her Chihuahua is “very photogenic.” I was skeptical, of course, but the photos below serve as scientific fact! I bet he had to turn down many runway offers for this month’s Fashion Week. Stella also told me that Chico is “charming, lovable and very comical. He is quite friendly and loves attention, especially belly rubs.”

Ladie’s & Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Chico!

I’ll drink to that:
