Did you know…

Chihuahuas have ancient roots.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Daisy may be the smallest member of the family, but don’t let her size fool you—she runs the household. At 5:50 p.m., she’s ready for bed, and if her blanket isn’t just right, everyone hears about it. Her family knows the drill: get her spot set up or prepare for some serious side-eye.

Her morning walks? Let’s just say she eases into them. She starts off getting carried like royalty, only agreeing to walk once she feels like it. And naps? Daisy fits in at least four a day, ensuring she’s well-rested for her most important job—keeping everyone on schedule.

Her quirks don’t stop there. Every night, just as the house settles in, Daisy decides it’s time for a drink. The routine is precise: she demands fresh water, a light on, and complete privacy before being placed back in bed.

And when it comes to bedtime, one rule stands above all—no one sleeps until Daisy’s mom is in bed. Because in Daisy’s world, everyone follows her lead.

Meet Espresso and Latte, the dynamic Chihuahua duo who prove that good things come in small (and extra-caffeinated) packages! These tiny siblings may be pint-sized, but we’re sure their energy levels rival your morning coffee!

Chihuahuas may be tiny, but their history is anything but small. These feisty little dogs trace their roots back to ancient civilizations like the Aztecs and Toltecs, where they were treasured companions.

Some even believed they had spiritual significance. Fast forward to today, and they remain just as beloved—though now they’re more likely to be found snuggled under a blanket than in an emperor’s palace.

Despite their size (typically between 2-6 pounds), Chihuahuas don’t back down from a challenge. They have the confidence of a much larger dog and won’t hesitate to stand up to, well, anything. This bold nature makes them excellent watchdogs—if you don’t mind a bit of yapping. Their sharp instincts mean they’re quick to alert their humans to anything unusual.

They also tend to be one-person dogs, forming deep bonds with their favorite human. While they can be friendly with others, their loyalty is unmatched. And with a lifespan of up to 20 years, these tiny companions stick around for the long haul. So if you’re looking for a big personality in a small package, a Chihuahua might just be the perfect fit.
