Throwback Photo of my Rat Terrier "Brizzy" and the Little one "Mancha" (Family had already given her that Name, it's Spanish for a spot/stain, and since she was soo tiny and it was a Spanish word, seemed appropriate so we kept it!)


Brizzy had succumb to having ulcerative tumors develop and spread via lymphatic system (my diagnosis) at age 15yo.
Told mama I wanted to let the dust settle in my heart over losing those two. (Especially since I literally watched the little one have a heart attack at 15.5yo :*(
So then after awhile... since lil' Mancha was technically a "Chorkie" (chihuahua + Yorkie, hence the "pants" on her legs and the fluffy on the tail.) Mama began scrolling thru FB groups for Chorkies... and then one day I hear this high-pitched "Awwwwwww....!" and I already knew what was up.
And that's when Mama went to go get "Chai" (aka "Chai-Chai" also a "Chorkie", but the kind that looks more like the larger Yorkshires, and likely also something like some Malti-Poo in there too I think to get the kinda hair-type she has.
EDIT: "Mancha" is the reason I got interested in Predator hunting. Long story shorter where we live sometimes Coyote come venturing into the neighborhood from a nearby Naval Golf course. And since she was soo tiny and I installed a thru-the-wall doggy-door for them.. I was always nervy that the little one would get taken by a Coyote possibly roaming along the backwall of the houses like a highway, lae at night. So.. I figured I should learn all about them, and also do my part to contribute to their numbers being more managed. (even though I can't do anything about their numbers in proximity to my domicile, unfortunately.)
EDIT 2x:
NOTE: If you are a young single male? DEFINITELY.. REPEAT.. DEFINITELY.. consider the thought of getting a tiny Chi! Chic-Magnet x1000!!!
