If you follow my blog then you know I’m completely obsessed with my two dogs — Diego and Gigi. While I’ve shared my training stories, health advice, and treat recipes, I’ve never told you guys how they came into my life. I met Diego when he was just a few months old. He was so tiny and could fit in just one of my hands. I had been looking for a Chihuahua for a while and didn’t seem to “click” with any that I was meeting. Until I met Diego. His previous family only had him for a few weeks, but they already knew they didn’t want the responsibility. Their loss was truly my gain.
