Our story
Two Chihuahuas taught me how much a little dog can mean. Chacho reminded me.
Brinkley and Rolo were my first two rescues. Both lived to 16, and I still wanted one more walk. Everything here comes from those years, the mistakes included, and from conversations with our longtime vet.
Then came Chacho: a chug (that's Chihuahua plus pug) who loves the car, long walks, big dogs and an audience. He goes everywhere with me. He's the reason this site exists.
