So Pablo the Chihuahua isn’t really evil, he just really likes to tease his bigger Doberman brother Ramsey with a dog toy! This cute video, taken by Pablo and Ramsey’s owner Chad, shows “playtime” between the two dogs. I find it especially funny because I’ve seen my own two Chihuahuas acting like this, and what makes it cuter to us is that they both know the other is messing around.
In the video, Pablo baits the very patient Ramsey with the toy, all the while doing what we call The Very Vicious Growl. Ramsey very carefully inches closer and closer to …read more

It’s a sad day for fans of animal spokes…persons?
Gidget, the cute little Chihuahua made famous in Taco Bell commercials for the phase “Yo quiero Taco Bell,” (”I want Taco Bell!”) passed away last night from a stroke at the age of 15.

This is so sweet: Actor Mickey Rourke’s beloved 18-year-old chihuahua Loki passed away suddenly last week, just a day after Mickey had told a gossip rag that he planned to take the little dog to the Oscars with him.

“It’s bittersweet. I said to myself I’d rather have …read more

Well, my chihuahuas don’t go “beep beep!” but one in Detroit does!
For the last four months Peanut the chihuahua’s owner, Ken Brown, has been building the three year-old dog a remote controlled Volkswagen Beetle!
It’s not finished yet but he says when it is it’ll have turn signals, spinners, a horn, headlights and a padded seat. He hopes to have it done by Memorial Day weekend:
Brown said the car will go up to 15 m.p.h., but he plans to slow the engine so Peanut won’t have such a bumpy ride. And if the car …read more
