Oh man, you’ve missed out.
Chihuahuas are prone to being twitchy in one way or another, but sometimes you’ll run across one that’s just chill as hell, friendly as you could hope for.
One of my jobs was in home health. So I’ve encountered a lot of lap dogs over the years. Before that, I was not fond of little dogs because of the usual yappiness and proclivity towards ankle biting.
And there were plenty of that type lol.
But the first time I met a chihuahua that was well socialized and trained it was amazing. Still a high energy dog, unlike others I’d meet later, but in the enjoyable way. Playful, and would follow me around the house there. But, the little guy was also a cuddler. He’d get up on my chest when I’d lean back in the chair while catching up with my client of a morning and take him a mini nap lol.
I hope you get the chance to meet one of the good ones some day :)
When I got surgery a few months ago there was a person who made rounds with an emotional support chihuahua. Most chill thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Just laying half asleep, in a little over the shoulder duffel bag, getting loved on by half the hospital. That bundle of calm helped me a lot while I was there I got to say hi every day
