Fun fact: chihuahuas probably began as livestock. The Aztecs ate them. I let my Chiweenie know that on a regular basis when he’s a naughty boy that he could easily be dinner.
I didn’t know that about Chihuahuas. Guinea Pigs were livestock too, but that’s much less surprising when you see how dopey and delicious they are.
People still eat Guinea pigs in parts of South America.
Here’s more than you could ever possibly want to know about it:
I went into a bit of a guinea pig hole and found this other random guinea pig fact:
In Switzerland, where owning a single guinea pig is considered harmful to its well-being, keeping a guinea pig without a companion is illegal.[66] There is a service to rent guinea pigs, to temporarily replace a dead cage-mate.[67]
You’re a weird guy, Mr Squid…
Most I’d do is grab my cat by the scruff of her neck and say “NO! BAD! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!” and she’d run off with her tail between her legs and a sorry look on her face. Then a few hours later, we would go back to normal and she wouldn’t do that thing again.
Except for putting her butthole in my face. Never got her to stop that when I first woke up every afternoon.
Sometimes you have to let them know it’s either they behave or you take them to the glue factory.
