Bloggers’ Pets: Javier the Chihuahua
Written by admin on May 14th, 2008Jenny from JennyWeber.com emailed me about her little man Javier the Chihuahua.
I had to laugh when I saw this guy. I love the way Chihuahuas look so attentive and ready for action!
Jenny emailed me some great information about Javier:
We bought Javier from a reputable breeder in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1999. Javier was born in July of that year and when I picked him out, he fit easily in one of my hands. His eyes were not yet open. He was so adorable, I fell for him on sight. His father, Danny, was a long-haired Chihuahua and his mother was short-haired. Javier and both his parents are AKC registered Chihuahuas. We had to leave Javier with his mom for six more weeks after making our selection, and we thought the time to take possession of him would never come. All the way home on the day we claimed him as our own, Javier lay in my arms and peered up at me so sweetly! I’ve been crazy about him ever since.
Javier has been a wonderful pet for all these years. He is the most loving, entertaining, and easy-to-please little dog. He does not bark incessantly as the breed is known for; on the contrary, he is relatively quiet and would prefer to sleep beside you as you watch TV or read. He does love to play though, and if you get down in the floor with him he’ll run all around and strike funny poses and generally be hilarious. He does not like his bath or any grooming activities. He simply endures them as we gently make fun of his terrified behavior.
In our family, since all the kids are grown, Javier is our baby. We talk to him like a baby, treat him like a baby, and spoil him like a baby. It’s fun. None of us can imagine life without Javier.
I always had a bad impression of Chihuahuas until my old boss got a cute little guy called Dior, and started bringing it to work. It was only then when I realized how funny, happy, perky and brave they were. I guess their bravery could be mistaken for stupidity but I think they are tougher than they look! Dior actually seemed to hate me for some reason! Most dogs love me…. honest!
JennyWeber.com is a very entertaining read indeed. Blogging was invented for this kind of blog. Witty, smart, opinionated and very sarcastic. Jenny brings tales and opinions from her everyday life and really isn’t afraid to say what she really thinks… plus the multiple teacups sends you into a tea induced hypnoses making you drink ravenously for days on end. Just try it…. it’s fun.
(Ed. Jenny whipped me into shape and informed me that they are actually coffee cups, duh!! Stupid me. My excuse is that I am British and I always think of Tea!)

Chihuahua’s are neat little dogs. Any I’ve ever seen have quite the personality. That would be interesting to see our dog Indy and Javier interact.

My family had a chihuahua when I was growing up and they are definitely cute. The only thing bad about them (other than their yapping) is that they tend to attach themselves to only one family member. She tolerated us kids but was in love with my mother.

Hey Louise, thanks for stopping by.
I guess this might explain why my boss’s Chihuahua hated me so much!
Jenny seems to be lucky with Javier on the “yapping” front.
Do you have a pet nowadays?
I also went over to your blog and subscribed. I will be hunting through your archives for some New Orleans bean soup recipes, do you know if there are any there?

We have one on the other side of our back fence. All he does is bark, and bark, and bark. I’m a bit biased I’m afraid. Have a great day.

Ha ha, it seems like Jenny is blessed with a non-barking variety.

Not sure if I have any bean soup recipes right now but I’ll hunt some down for you. There are some great cajun style 8 or 10 bean soup recipes.
An petwise, we have 2 dogs- a German Shephard and a Great Dane mix. My Mom (the one I mentioned with the chihuahu and then her other dog was a Pomeranian) has a tough time relating to the big dogs. And she freaks out everytime the dogs give our 18 month old daughter a big wet kiss on the mouth!

That would be fantastic.
Would you like to feature you pets here in a Bloggers’ Pets post?
If so just fire me an email, forest.parks@gmail.com, and attach some images plus a paragraph or two about each or all of them and your relationship with them.
Thanks a million for stopping by.

Would love to- I’ll have to get the Geerman Shephard to stand still for a picture first. No problem with the Great Dane, though, she sleeps all the time!
