CARIÑO and PEPITO are now seven weeks old, and how they have grown! Tiny Pepito is so small as almost to merit the designation of teacup Chihuahua–although in reality no such breed type actually exists. They are simply smaller puppies. They will be joining a busy household with three adults, two Labradors, and five cats. This, of course, breaks all the rules that Chihuahuas should not be with bigger dogs, not to mention cats. Dog trainers also are fairly adamant about not bringing home littermates. Well, I have always been a bit of a rebel, and this will be just another challenge. These tiny ones will be watched over and protected members of the family but also grow up in the spirit of awareness that they are, after all, dogs, albeit a miniature version.
