Nacho

You can't ever fully understand the phrase "mans best friend" until you have a dog. It's amazing, a dog doesn't get mad at you if you don't call it when you say you're going to or get angry if you come home late.. no matter what they are thrilled to see you come home and sad to see you leave. There's just something in the way they make you feel, it's unlike anything else.

My whole life I have gone without this feeling and never really knew what I was missing. My parents got a dog only once I moved away to college, yes I got replaced by an animal.. when I'd come home from school I'd see Waffles, of course I like him but I never really got that whole feeling of him loving me more than anything in the world. I now know it's because I'm not his owner, mommy or whatever you'd like to call it. It was only once I got a dog of my own did I discover the bond that a dog and its owner have.

I've had Nacho for abut 7 months now, god has time flown by, he is a pain in the ass! There are times when I think I'm going to explode because he won't stop biting my finger or barking at any leaf that falls on the deck but there are the times when he's sleeping in my lap, or jumping at my feet when I come in the door. I know that he loves me more than anything in the world, he knows that I'm his mommy and will always be there to take care of him. I look at my little 4 lb dog in wonder, how can something so small have so much personality? I sincerely hope that together Nacho and I can change some minds on how people view small dogs. Little by little he makes an impression on people, it's funny to watch them go from "ew a chihuahua.." to trying to get him to come sit on their lap, or pet him.. you can't help but love him lol. It's hilarious, even my friends who have a pit bull love him now. Nacho and I have many years ahead of us, I have high hopes for our relationship.. hopefully he will learn not to bite or bark lol...
