Benny (4/21/03): Chico (M) has been a family pet for over 12 years. He is ½ Chihuahua, ¼ Dachshund, and ¼ Pomeranian (...and yes, I had to look those words up to figure out how to spell them) - as Mom likes to say, he's a Chidacheranian.

     Oddly enough, Chico is older then my oldest niece or nephew. Kayleigh (my parent's oldest grandchild) was born May 25, 1991, but Chico was born August 12, 1990 (thanks goes to Bonny for remembering the exact day).

     On one occasion when Chico was a puppy, a man approached us in public asking to pay several hundred dollars for our 'unique' breed of dog. Not excepting the fact that chico was a cross-breed, the persistent guy finally gave up and left us alone.

     Chico is a family dog, and is very-well behaved. His only really bad faults is that he begs for food at the table (which isn't too bad, as he's so small and polite); and that he's very timid (which is probably the Chihuahua part of him).
