In agreement on Chihuahuas.

Especially the 're-homed' ones. Maybe it's their tiny brains.

A friend's inlaws had a rehomed one. Mean little dog, bit both of them. FIL died. She was alone in the house, a fire broke out, she called the dog to come with her, as usual, he ignored her., she went back, they both died. From the site, she had unlocked the closest door, put her purse on the front step and gone back in..

It was my crazy Great Aunt who had 2 or 3 of them. This was when I was a little kid, I do not ever think I petted one. They were constantly mean.

The aunt also had a severely retarded daughter ( not a sweet natured Downs kid, a full blown "the 1940's doctor fricked up the childbirth" monster) and the other daughter was a very masculine lesbian.

I understood none of this when I was 6 or 7, just knew it was horrifying.
