The cat sat on the …er… rug
(He thought the mat would be too obvious)
Snarling and spitting at the … dog,
Who sat there totally omniferous.
He reckoned a Rotweiler shouldn’t be intimidated
By a mere cat; but it gets complicated.
When the feline suddenly said “ha ha ha,”
The canine remembered he was only a Chihuahua
And that the cat was considerably bigger.
In fact it was a Bengal Tiger!
All this occurred in Devon.
I wonder if Chihuahuas go to heaven.
Bruiser is my new Chihuahua's name and I will never ignore him.
Unlike the other Chihuahuas I've owned, I paid nothing for him.
After his former owner died, I received Bruiser for free.
I love my new dog and he will be my dog permanently.
Bruiser is a silly name for a dog that is so small and sweet.
He'll be mine until the day when his heart no longer beats.
His former owner decided to name him 'Bruiser' but now she is departed.
I love my Chihuahua and until the day when he dies, we won't be parted.
Oscar was from Argentina,
Buenos Aires city:
his “go to” word was “lindo, lindo”:
Spanish word for ‘pretty’.
‘Lindo’ if you use big words,
‘lindo’ if you cuss:
´lindo’ is the garden gate,
‘lindo’ is the bus.
Oscar went to buy a pet,
to keep him company:
he walked into the poodle shop –
“how much for a bee?”
“One moment please. We don’t sell bees.”
The clerk heard Oscar speaking.
Perhaps his English needs some help
to get the pet he’s seeking.
“Chihuahuas, dachshunds, corgis too:
simply place an order:
we’ll get a husky, if you want:
we’ve friends across the border.”
But Oscar didn’t take the bait.
He didn’t want a puppy,
or marmoset or guinea-pig,
or parakeet or guppy.
“I’ve seen the bee that’s just for me:
he’s lindo, lindo, lindo:
here’s my money – get it done –
he’s right there, in the window!”
When you died, you died too soon.
You died one year ago this afternoon.
A vet tried to save you with a blood transfusion but you died anyway.
You died and my heart was broken one year ago today.
I bought you in 2017 and you were only six years old when you died.
If a person ever says that I didn't love you, that person will have lied.
Some Chihuahuas are hateful but you were not.
You were one of the best things I've ever bought.
I took you to two vets but your life still came to an end.
You weren't just a dog, you were also a wonderful friend.
I have something to say and it is 100 percent true.
You were a very special dog and I'll always love you.
[Dedicated to Puppy (2017 - 2023) who passed away one year ago today on August 17, 2023]
dogs on vacation filling up the beach with warm barks
dobermans, german shepherds, prissy poodles that cause sparks
husky and rottweiler are sharing a purple lounge chair in the sun
excited corgis begin a volley ball game; this is all kinds of fun!
bulldogs and blue heelers, tripping around in the moist sand.
perky dogs with fluffy tails that are wildly frenzied and fanned.
chihuahuas and yorkies and there is a beagle with a howl.
this would not be the place for a kitten or fowl.
let’s vacation on down to the Vermosa beach
and drink some cold water with slight taste of peach
here comes a striped surfboard and a jet ski too
unhappy mailmen fall from the sky, out of the blue
I claimed ---and passionately---
that I'd never have a small dog,
much less one with "poo" in its name.
Not for me yappy Yorkies, shivering Chihuahuas,
shaky Shih Tzus, or terrible terriers.
Give me a wolfhound, a Dane, a mastiff,
a dog with paws like saucers,
a bark like thunder, and a tail like a whip,
(Christmas tree be damned!)
I prefer drooling retrievers, dignified shepherds.
hard-working setters, lumbering Bernards.
With this firmly in mind,
I went puppy shopping today.
Meet my Maltipoo.
Cujo.
(I haven't lost my mind completely.)
After Judicious consideration
the Court ousts chihuahuas without hesitation
With Texas Versus Rover
their dreaming days are over
We'll soon live in a pure Aryan canine nation
Four ways to stop your chihuahua from barking
Talk to them in a pleasant voice
Then you see you have no choice
One: Get your shotgun
Two: Load it with a shell or two
Three: You know this won't be fun
Four: Take them out behind the barn,
Just the sight of the gun
And the shakes have begun!!
The Chihuahuas are terrified of guns and most loud noises so they would quieten on down if someone got out the gun even run and hide.
chihuahuas bark in
chorus ....
jazz mixed opera
carport door opens
chihuahuas sniff frosty air....
scents compel new hikes
How much do I love you?
Let me count the ways,
I love your one paw,
I love your two paws,
I love your three paws,
I love all four.
I love the way you greet me,
When I walk through the door.
I love your wiggy waggy tail,
I love your little tooshie too.
I love it when you kiss me,
When I say mommy loves you.
I love your little belly,
I love your little teeth,
I love the way you yell at me,
When you want a treat.
I love your little nose,
I love your big brown eyes.
I love the fact you think your ten feet tall,
for your little size.
Even though chihuahuas seem snarly and unapproachable
They're one of the friendliest breeds and really quite loveable
Their size is deceiving
Terror you're conceiving
But when they're barking, they're saying “I'm quite adorable”
my heart has been caught
although there are three
most often then not
it's lola and me
together we walk
together we ride
together we talk
always side by side
she throws me a scowl
as i head off to work
then cries her lonely howl
so i feel like a jerk
when my day is done
hers has just begun
it's time for some fun
let's go for a run
and then there are three
chasing after me

Write a rhyme about your favorite pet
Sponsored by Regina Riddle
I have three Chihuahuas, Lola is the only female, she is the mother of both Gizmo and Chico, i rescued her from the grasp of a breeder and she never knew love or how to play until she became mine, she is forever grateful, i started singing to her when i first got her and now she requires that i sing to her every day...
Norman’s been missing for many a month;
The signs offer money if found.
There actually aren’t, as far as I know,
Too many Chihuahuas around.
New posters are up; the reward has been raised –
Five thousand, a heftyish sum.
If somebody has him, you’d think they’d respond
For it’s difficult not to succumb.
Alas, I suspect that poor Norman’s long gone –
Deceased or sent far as the moon,
But I feel for his owners and hope that somehow
They’ll find Norman again one day soon.
I have a puppy who loves to run and jump.
I have a Chihuahua that is named Trump.
He was born on the 14th of January and he's special indeed.
I now have two Applehead Chihuahuas, that is their breed.
Trump is some feisty and he's as cute as he can be.
He is my new pet and he means a great deal to me.
It's nice to have two dogs that are purebred.
I love both of my Chihuahuas who are Appleheads.
