There are no chihuahuas in this house.

Sure, there is a rat-chi (rat terrier + chihuahua):

 

And there is a chiweenie (chihuahua + dachshund):

And a chug (chihuahua + pug):

 

And a german shepherd + kelpie pack leader:

But there are absolutely no purebred chihuahuas here.

Meet Ethel.

And Lucy.

 

They came from Muttville, a senior dog rescue based in San Francisco, in early April. We are adjusting to having four dogs pretty well, although walking all of them together is quite the circus. They like it, though—they identify as a pack and they like to be all together.  It's pretty amusing to watch us come down the street, and we've almost certainly cemented our neighborhood rep as crazy ladies.

Coffee and Ethel are both in obedience classes right now, so it's pretty much all dog interaction, all the time.

Your army of non-chihuahuas is totally adorable!

That's a charming group of new noses in your household, evidence of some couple's larger-than-life heart.

Are you expert chihuahua people now? Do they have different personalities or can I assume all will and want to go wherever I go all the time? May adopt cousin's two year old.
