Of course not. But it comes close, for small. affectionate companions. I'm guessing it is originally her dog.
I used to hate Chihuahuas, but when someone who shall remain nameless had to adopt a soon to be homeless one, guess where he ended up.
Has cost us about $400 a pound so far in vet bills over the last 4 years.
Just grateful we could afford it.
Stuff happens.
One of the non-fiction books in my current reading rotation mentioned that Chihuahuas were a source of protein for the Aztecs, in spite of high bone-to-meat ratio.
Any way, has BHO/BHO relatives been in Bay area when the pooch disappeared?
I am going to argue that it doesn’t come close. You assume you will outlive your pet. Plus attachment to a pet varies between people. I have cats. Losing a cat is not a big deal to me. I just go get another cat. It’s nothing like losing a child for me.
I have seen too many people get rid of their precious, irreplaceable fur baby after a real baby comes on the scene. That kinda creeps me out.
I’ll agree that losing a pet can be devastating to some people.
