This post is not about Chihuahuas.
Many years ago, I had a Chihuahua. I was accustomed to people making fun of him because of his diminutive size. One day, a burly man started laughing at my little dog and exclaimed, "You call that a dog! I have two Rottweilers and a Staffordshire Terrier! Now those are real dogs."
I smiled and said, "I know, he's tiny isn't he? Lots of people say, 'That's not a dog, that's a rat.' "
The man guffawed, "Right! It's not a dog, it's a rat!"
I nodded, smiling, and said, "I have yet to actually meet anyone who would like to be bitten by a rat."
The man's eyes looked confused. He stopped laughing and walked away.
