The one the only. Accept no substitutes.
Likeable chihuahuas do exist. They're rare though. Every vet I've ever had remarks on how Peep is the only chihuahua they've ever liked in their x years of practicing. He's a little sweetheart. It's a shame he's so gross and nobody wants to touch him. :(

This girl I knew had a chihuahua with eyes that were too big for it's sockets so it's eyeballs bulged our from it's skull and were constantly leaking puss because they were perpetually infected. It was honestly the single grossest animal I've ever seen in person and I felt glad when it died. That dog will forever be the thing that I think of when I hear about any chihuahuas.

That's how Peep lost his eye. Just popped right out one day. *shudder* The other one's not all pus-ified or anything thank god, but I've always been afraid it's going to pop out too. I admit, he is pretty gross bless his heart. He...oozes. Stuff. He's stinky.

He is 17 though. He wasn't a leaky, stinky, stringy looking mess when he was younger.

Im positive your dog is a kind and sweet pup that loves you dearly, and I say this with all kindness: that dog prays for death

The great thing about dogs is that they are incapable of experiencing existential crises or lusting for death, they’re just really loving happy to see you!

I'm accidentally a suicide bomber!

I can remember my old dogs' birth/death dates, but not my nieces/nephews' birthdays

E. Also, one of my dogs died a few months ago and I was really broken up about it (she was old but it happened suddenly/unexpectedly). I'm really tempted to get a new dog, but I'm just about to move ~2000mi in the next two months, so I feel like I should wait.

HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
Here’s my dogs and my GF’s dogs looking like the back of a 90’s alternative album.



Pearl, the fluffy one on the far left was minutes from being euthanized at a shelter because of food aggression. My GF was like ‘she’s nine pounds, who cares?’ and adopted her 8 years ago. She’s still food aggressive.

Enzo, the grizzled elder on the left was picked up by a rescue organization in Juarez, Mexico living on the streets. He was brought across the border with 40 others and my GF adopted him nine years ago. He’s exceptionally smart but going a bit deaf.

Top-center is my dog Pickles(R.I.P.) I fostered him as a puppy(he was born in a shelter) and he just stayed. He was a wonderful dog, energetic and always happy, but he got sick last year and after spending a vast amount of money at the vet’s, we had to put him down. I miss him greatly. He was three.

The smallish white terrier on the right is Flora. Flora was left locked in a foreclosed home and nearly starved to death, but someone found her in time and we’ve had her for 7 years. She loves cheese of all kinds and plays fetch for hours.

The corgi-chihuahua mix at bottom-right is Tillie. I found her wandering along some railroad tracks very early one Sunday morning, even though she was chipped, her owners never responded. :( She is a very well-mannered girl who doesn’t really know how to play with other dogs - I think she was owned by an elderly person who passed away and nobody cared about her after that.

People suck. Dogs are cool.

My cat will scratch and cry at my door all night so I let her into my room before I go to bed and every morning around six or seven she gets up in my face and starts batting me with her paw on my forehead or cheek till I wake up and let her out.

My cat died a year ago after being put down due to acute renal failure.

My dog died two weeks ago due to being put down after having a stroke and not having control of his motor functions.

Who What Now posted:

Owning a pet is a lot like inviting a severely autistic person into your home. They eat what we would consider to be garbage and they often poo poo where they're standing when frightened. But unlike those with autism we love our pets despite their many, many faults. Tell us about your pets, GBS!

It's funny that you mention autism because I have always found, forever, since the internet was invented, that the autism of someone on the internet could usually be measured by how readily they posted about their pets. This is one of the only consistencies of the internet, to this day.

My eight year old dog just died of cancer and I feel like poo poo and don't want to get another one. I get too attached to dogs and then it's crushing when they die.

Looks remarkably like my cat, who died of stomach / pancreatic cancer in 2012. Except, my cat's white spot extended to his nose, with the black/white line going straight down the middle. Literally half of his nose was black and the other half white/pink.

That's Daisy The Cat Who Wouldn't DieTM. She had cancer and it just... went away. She's 20 years old.

Technically those guys live at my parents' house but I grew up with them so they're my pets :colbert:

This is my new guy although technically he isn't mine he lives down the street and I don't know his name so I call him "My Boy":
