Fred doesn’t like the cold, to say the least.
Does anyone other than me?!? 
Hey, @TribbleFeeder , let me know if you'd like me to take that Thug Life pic of Fred down from my site at any time. I'm sorry if I was out of line.

I got to take care of a chihuahua for a couple of hours yesterday. He got loose from a house on the street behind me. Other than the indignity of having to eat dry cat food, he had a nice little vacation.
Chihu-wah-wah!
Aww .
Fred is one cute pup.
Thanks Gary. He’s my main squeeze.
I'm glad that you have each other.
Right now we’re about all each other has.
Nope.Right now we’re about all each other has.
It’s a struggle I battle every day! I just want to squeeze the life out of him I love him so much.Just don't squeeze him too hard; his eyes may pop loose!
Whether deserved or "blown out of proportions", Chihuahuas have a reputation for being "one person" dogs and tend to be leery of other people. However, I met one which threw those assumptions out the window.
When I assisted an elderly lady at a local apartment complex, I met another tenant who had a "Chi-chi" rescued from a "less than caring" environment. One would think this might have made the dog even more paranoid around other people, but this lil' thing simply did not know a stranger. Oh, she'd bark a couple of times, more to let someone know she was present than anything else, but then she'd run towards you and promptly expose her belly in cheerful acceptance, ready for rubs. It didn't matter who you were. She'd greet anyone.
Oops, here I am writing about her in the past tense as though she's "gone", but she's still very much alive, still with her caregiver serving as an informal "comfort" dog and thus is allowed within the local Wal*Mart, happily riding upon the footrest of the scooter her owner drives. She has a very trim frame, not undernourished, just a small frame and she has a sleek Doberman type coat, black on brown.
I haven't seen either for a while because they moved from that apartment complex to another, but I heard about them shopping at "Wally World" only a month or two ago.
She's certainly one of the friendlier dogs I've met, especially impressive given disposition some (but not all) chihuahuas have.

@Redfern wow what a lovely little bugger! She sounds adorable. It’s always good to hear about chihuahuas that are friendly. Fred is great with me, other women, dogs and kids. When it comes to men, especially large men, he’s very skiddish.
Once there are no women in the room he warms up. He’s very protective of females. I think maybe he was in a home where violence might have been an issue.
He’s very old, so it would be unlikely to train that out of him. We have ways around it though. He’s not very vicious, just barks a lot.

This thread needs more big dogs 
My wife (pictured) plays special needs hockey (it allows people with physical and other disabilities to play) and at a recent event, the team founder had his Newfoundlander with him.
Her name is Rosie but she can be a bit destructive so she's also known as Monster.

When her caregiver had to be rushed to the hospital to have her remaining leg amputated from diabetes complications, her dog stayed at the apartment next door. As I understand it, she got along great with the chi' mix that lived there. However, her owner (upon returning home) thought her pup had picked up some "bad habits" from the dog with which she "bunked" for awhile. But one time I met them at the communal mail boxes and as we chatted, another tenant exited the gate from the complex's swimming pool with his Lab mix. Before any of us realized what was happening, her teeny weeny barely 5 pound pup "jumped" the lab, "attacking" it! She was on a leash so her owner was able to quickly pull the teacup doggy from the much larger animal. Thankfully, the other pet owner was not angry. I think we all were just stunned that palm sized pooch had the guts to go after the other that was likely 12 times her weight! It was the only aggression I witnessed from that chihuahua.
Like I noted above, that tiny canine seemed to like everyone and everything else. Maybe she herself was attacked by a large dog and she remembered it. I honestly don't know.
