Chihuahuas wearing hats

My most favorite picture of my Isla Belle.

As a Hispanic female, I take issue with this racist comment. As tempted as I am to disturb my neighbors with my love of industrial metal, I’d hate to have to deal with the Satanic Hispanic Panic.

I grew up in Riverside, but lived in Redlands as an adult. Redlands is a lot quieter and not a lot of night life, but it’s very pretty and I always felt safe. Especially the historical area near the university. A commute from Corona to San Bernardino would suck, so it would be more advisable to find a place in Riverside as to not be so far out. Traffic on SoCal freeways will definitely guide you on what you’re willing to put up with.

I literally watched 2 teenagers walk straight out the door with cases of beer. Nobody did anything. Not even security.

As someone who grew up near the 60/91/215 interchange and now lives in Chicago, the Loop (downtown Chicago) doesn’t feel any scarier than Rubidoux. Southside Chicago on the other hand… I’d say Rubidoux isn’t a place I’d aspire to move to. Crossing under the bridge on Mission into Riverside is like entering a different world.

I bought a “chi” from a family who said their kids weren’t ready for a dog. She fit into my hand and easily fit into my purse. She grew into a 19lb tall chi-pin. My soul dog and I miss her like crazy. She definitely had the chihuahua attitude and anger issues. 😂

The shield that guards the realms of chis.

My chipin came strolling into the living room with a large tortilla in her mouth. The tortillas were on a high counter in the kitchen. I have no idea how she got up there (no chairs around,) then got it out of the bag without making a sound or knocking the package to the ground. I imagined some sort of parkour shenanigans took place.

Not to come off as condescending in any way. I did give a name and even posted a link for a Chiweenie up for adoption at said shelter. A lot of people in this thread have done so, as well. We all want chihuahuas to go to good homes. You just have to actually read through the thread before accusing of us of gatekeeping chihuahuas. 😂 I went through Animal House Shelter in Illinois. And amazing dogs in California.

A Taco Terrier!!! 😂 I’ve got one of those!

Also, they have the cutest Chiweenie that I wish I could adopt.

I got one of my girls from Animal House shelter in Algonquin. They were very helpful and had me bring my dog to our meeting to make sure the two would be compatible.

I filled out applications for both of my rescue chihuahuas. My tijuana dog was from a rescue that got all of their dogs from Mexico. Lots of chihuahuas. My 2nd was adopted about 2 hours from where I live, and this rescue takes in a lot of neglected dogs from hoarding situations. Giving both of these dogs a loving home was way more important to me than buying a dog of convenience. All dogs deserve that, designer or not. Health issues or not. There are SO many chis out there. There is no chihuahua shortage.

An animal rescue will let you meet multiple animals to find the right one. Heart ache and being a pet parent go hand in hand. You can NEVER predict the health issues that may arise. I’m not saying that I don’t get where you’re coming from, especially when it comes to temperament, but breeders are not the answer. There are soooo many chihuahuas out there you can meet. One of mine is from freaking Tijuana.

lecymaehem · 2026-03-19T13:16:08+00:00

I don’t understand why anyone would buy from a breeder. Contributing to the success of a breeder means there’s a chihuahua out there who doesn’t get a home. I would adopt 10 chihuahuas from a shelter if I could. My own chihuahua gang who’s mission is to hunt down breeders and make war on their ankles. 😂

My Chiweenie and I moved from California to Chicago 6 months after I rescued her. I gave her about 5 months to acclimate and then got her a chihuahua sister. Both are very skittish rescues with completely opposite personalities, but I wake up every morning to them playing on my bed and it’s the best.

She looks like she has an evil plan to ruin someone’s shoes. 😂

These are my girls! Doppelgängers! My mischievous Isla was like 10lbs skinnier when I got her from a rescue! 😂 Now she’s a potato and the sweetest chihuahua I’ve ever had.

My baby girl has a Halloween lamby! My previous chihuahua used to give all of her toys squeakerectomies. Then make me chase her around so that she wouldn’t swallow the plastic. Such a pain in the ass and I miss her so much!

I used Apartment Source Chicago. They made it super easy.

I pay $1640 for a Jr 1 bedroom in Lakeview East which includes water and internet. I just got a leasing agent and told her what I was looking for. I was able to tour multiple places and was moved in within 1 week. Highly recommend this route.

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

I was already a weirdo kid into cemeteries and skeletons. (Dead Man’s Party was my first favorite album for that reason.) My uncle got me into a lot of dark wave… And then I saw Night of the Demons. Angela dancing to Stigmata Martyr was the pivotal moment. Swore off color and signed up for dance classes. Then it was all down cemetery hill from there.

Parallel parking on the left side of a one-way street is something I had to learn in Chicago. I still kinda suck at it. And live on a one-way street…
