SF Chihuahua Meetup

I had a pawsome time at the SF Chihuahua Meetup today only it was so so hot out there in Pine Lake!
Every first Sunday of the month mom takes me to this meetup group and I get to mingle and sniff other little dogs my size.Some of them come dressed up like I do so I don't feel like some weird dog.That's the good thing about being a Chihuahua, nobody thinks it's strange to see us in fluffy dresses and rhinestones. BOL!

While I do my thing mom walks around and mingles with the humans there and I let her, as long as she doesn't try to go too far.That's a no no.Sometimes humans bring doggie treats which I love so I'm always looking out for any bent over human ready to hand them out.Usually I'm the last one because I'm a lady and I don't get pushy like some of the boy dogs I know.I don't mind waiting because mom always makes sure I get a treat.

Once in a while a giant dog wanders in our Chi territory and the pack goes wild. Yap Yap Yap!I almost feel sorry for those big clumsy dogs that can't get away quick enough!

I do have to watch mom closely though sometimes because she starts to look too often at the other little Chi's and I don't want her even thinking she's going to find anydog cuter than me!She asks about the rescue dogs that are available for adoption each month, so I know she thinks about it. Little does she know I have a deal with my sister Esperanza the cat to make sure we don't allow any new dogs to get too comfortable at home should she decide to bring one home.

The meetups last about 2 hours and  attract anywhere from 50-100 humans and their Chi's and they can pretty crowded.Sometimes I panic when I can't smell mom and I run to many different human legs before I can find her! Poor mom must have a bad sense of direction and wanders off.I know it happens to the others too because sometimes you hear the loud speaker call out that some human mom or dad has been lost. Silly humans I say. That's why they invented leashes! When it gets very crowded I keep mom on a leash now so she wont get lost. I can tell mom has fun because she makes me pose for her pictures there.I know she likes to go because they have doggies clothes and raffles where the proceeds go to housing, transporting and helping lots of little Chi's that have no steady homes.They also foster dogs until they get adopted and that costs lots of that funny smelling green paper.There are some very nice humans that do this so I guess I like them too!

So, if you're in SF on the first Sunday of the month bring your human out to Stern Grove/Pine Lake for the SF Chihuahua meetup and say hi to us!
