"Aren't I just the cutest damn thing? Can't you see why people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for my parents to make more of little ol' me instead of adopting some ghastly shelter dog? How very gauche THAT would be! I am, after all, timeless. I'm like a Birkin, only louder and more irritating!" #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: They're not all fancy expensive dogs. (A) this could be a puppy. (B) A friend of mine found a 3 month old chihuahua that looked just like this one running loose in traffic a few months ago in LA and took her home. I'm down with saving shelter dogs, totally, but the definition of said dogs isn't limited to mutts. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: I volunteer at the shelter, and I see plenty of chihuahua's. Trust, there are many out there that need homes, albeit not as many as other breeds, like Pits.

However, this is how we narrate our Persian cats (which we got off Craigslist). #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@pmarble: Oh I know! It's possible to find the fanciest of breeds in need of a good home. People purchase pets and then, realizing they require care, abandon them. My aunt has a purebred poodle rescued from a shelter and my best friend a gorgeous Himalayan cat from a shelter. I was meaning to mock the snobbery associated with people buying animals the way they buy designer accessories.

That being said, mutts are more my style, but I don't judge anyone who opens her heart to a stray. Just people who drive an industry of puppy mills while shelter animals continue to be euthanized. It's something I feel very strongly about. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: Chihuahuas end up in shelters, too. They just tend to get adopted quicker because they are small dogs, so you don't see them there for long. And lots of chihuahuas get dumped by people who have kids because they are fragile or react badly initially around a baby. Not every chihuahua out there was bought for thousands. I have a rescued one sitting on my lap as I type. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: If dog breeding were completely in the hands of responsible people, there would be very little need for shelters. "Fancy" dogs aren't the problem. Assholes are the problem. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

I love dogs, but find tiny little chihuahuas like this somewhere between absolutely pitiable and revolting. They remind me of the poor unfortunate souls in Ursula's Garden of Duped Customers or something. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@yvanehtnioj: Tiny dogs so often seem to be bought by people who can't be arsed to train them. So often when I see them, I'm seized with the urge to kick them, but it's really the owner's fault. See also badly behaved children. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@yvanehtnioj: yeah, people breed runts crossed with runts to get them this small so you wind up with a teeny-tiny unhealthy little puppy. My chi did come from a breeder and he's small but normal chihuahua small and pretty sturdy. He's the best - thinks he's much bigger than he is! #anyahindmarchgirlstea

There was a pup just like this outside of Lucky Shops last weekend. My mom pointed out that the poor little guy was freezing his ass off and shaking violently. Owner could have cared less. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@EkaterinaBallerina: Wait, you mean they can feel cold? I thought they were just cute little accessories! Just look at how the little guy compliments her sweater!

In all seriousness, I can't stand it when people tie their dogs up outside while they shop or eat at a restaurant. If you're going somewhere that will not allow dogs, leave the dog at home. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@EkaterinaBallerina: I've *heard* that the shaking that teacups do is not actually a reaction to the cold, but some sort of nervous gesture bred in from creating such a small dog. Which doesn't really lessen the crappiness either way.

Of course, I know very little about purebred dogs, so I don't know for sure. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@likepenguins: I have a chihuahua (not a teacup, just a normal sized one) and she's long-coat but shakes when she's nervous or excited more than when she's cold. But that being said I would never just tie her up outside of a restaurant. That seems mean. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@likepenguins: That does sound right. However, a vet in my old neighborhood once yelled at my mom for walking our terrier (who had thicker fur than this little guy) without a sweater on in the winter. He said they need to be covered a bit more. And while it's fall, it was damn cold outside last weekend. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@likepenguins: Some toy breeds tremble from excitement, but dogs of all sizes can be fairly sensitive to cold, poor things. Some owners tend to forget that their pets go around bare-footed on the cold ground all day.

I say this as someone who has a dogbed in every room of my house. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

It would be really cool if the pup’s actual heart was just below the heart shape on its fur. The last time I went for an echocardiogram the technician gave up after 15 minutes, having failed to locate my heart. She had to call in a more senior member of staff to find it. Seems it was not located in the usual place. Maybe I should get a t-shirt with a heart printed above it to save time if I have to have another ecg.

When I first read this, I thought he was born with his heart OUTSIDE his body, in some freakish congenital defect. Phew. Really glad it's just a fur heart SHAPE.
