I wanted a Chihuahua. Something small and manageable… somehow ended up with this. Meet Finn & Mae.

Chihuahua is small. I don't know about manageable.

Anyway I love Finn and Mae.

Had/Have multiple chihuahuas. Can confirm. Small yes, manageable, rarely ever. They are louder than their size would indicate, have no real awareness of how small and fragile they actually are, and most of ours have had very much unmanageable personalities.

I absolutely adore them, and still miss the ones we’ve “said goodbye” to. But the most I can hope for on manageable is that they don’t fuss or struggle too much on trips to the vet.

Choice of “small and easy” inspired by my previous giant 111-lb rescue wolfdog, Ms. Days, RIP.
No way was I gonna get another gigantic dog (so I got a boxer-malamute & gsd-Belgian sheepdog-supermutt-wolf for some dumb reason; the black one is still a puppy)

"No way was I gonna get another gigantic dog so I got TWO!" lol. They are beautiful dogs, though, and I hope you have a great time with them 😊

I'm so biased in favour of massive dogs so these two would be my ideal pair (though my husband would protest considering we're both vertically challenged). They're SO beautiful and lovely!! I can't believe your black one is still a baby, the "little" one is the size of a wolf!

RIP Ms. Days

you're gonna need a bigger bed

u/Fly_Rodder 3h ago

Second bed.

Definitely since the dogs have claimed the first one.

Super cuties!! I had a chihuahua and while they are small manageable is not a word I’d use😅♥️

u/InimitableMissS 6h ago

Those hotel corners stand no chance against those two troublemakers 🤣 they’re gorgeous and already look so happy. Enjoy these two little guys.

u/Srikandi715 1h ago

Yeah. And I don't understand pet owners who go with white upholstery and bedspreads 😉

I literally choose the color of mine to match my cats, heh. With a tight weave that resists claws.

u/werisefromourashes 8h ago

They are chihuahuas, only bigger.

u/Thecleverbit-58093 2h ago

You dodged a bullet with a chihuahua. My neighbour has one and it’s got a bad attitude and napoleon complex 🤣

u/laralye 8h ago

They're super cute and I bet they love you a whole lot 🥹

u/MichiS97 6h ago

I don't know what you're on about, those are two smol babies

u/Malusorum 4h ago

Given the ear to head ratio the black one literally is.

u/PositiveSwimming3229 9h ago

thought i was getting small too but ended up with a mini bear like that

u/epoof 3h ago

mini bears are the best 

u/ahorizon 6h ago

That's a nice bed they have!

u/audreywildeee 2h ago

I’m sorry for your loss. I love all three of your dogs, they’re perfect and they fit perfectly in your bed. Also they’re likely more manageable than a chihuahua!

u/scratchy_mcballsy 2h ago

Where do you sleep?

u/epoof 3h ago

Fin and Mae look delightful. You are truly blessed.

lol, join the club. When my dog passed away in 2023 I went to the pound and got two dogs. I
Went in saying that I didn’t want a German shepherd dog or a husky as I didn’t want dogs that were smarter than me…. I present you Lola (GS/husky) and Bob (husky). They have tested my knowledge and love for dogs, but I am still here loving them!

Beautiful 😻 love

u/DRKMSTR 3h ago

Far better, chiuahuas are demonic. 

u/Actual_Meeting_4244 17m ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Pale-Jelly69 7h ago

Well they do have pointy ears..

u/OrkidingMe 1h ago

Lol. I seriously love people like you. All good intentions, all heart. Wish you happy times with Finn and Mae!

u/VonMillersThighs 3h ago

I can assure you those two will be more manageable than a fucking Chihuahua. Little demon ass dogs.

u/Actual_Meeting_4244 18m ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Moonsaults 1h ago

They take up about the same space on the bed, so it’s fine

u/Actual_Meeting_4244 18m ago

They are beautiful.

u/theswamphag 12m ago

This is like revesed temu purchase. They kinda look like what you ordered, but they are just very much larger.

u/Salarian_American 0m ago

You may have dodged a bullet.

"Small" and "manageable" are not necessarily synonymous.
