#2- Do you have any pets? What kind/names/what is something funny about them?

I have two chihuahuas. I always had big dogs when I was younger but these two dogs came to my husband and me from some friends. They are the friends we get our cannabis from. So, the first one we got is named Bud.

Later on they gave us Precious and she is Precious but I just couldn't with the name so we renamed her Ladybug. She is now known as Bugs or Buggy.

Bud has a ton of nicknames too. He is called Pootie, actually both dogs are deemed pooties but only Bud is Pootie. We also call him McLovin' because he is a lover. He is soft and loves to snuggle. Both dogs sleep in the bed with us and moving around in the bed is known as "threading the needle" because we have to maneuver so as not to disturb them --otherwise they growl at us.

In my profile I call myself a chihuahuaist. I should change that to proud chihuahuaist.

These dogs are not trembley nor are they nervous. They are a delight. They are a little bit on the large side of the breed standard. They weight about 9 pounds each. Bugs is black with white trim and Bud is brown with some black fur. He is marked like a pecan.

These dogs are my joy. I've never enjoyed dogs more. They don't know how to do anything at all except sleep, eat and walk on a leash. I shouldn't say that...Ladybug, trained by some previous owner, knows how to sit up and beg. We call this Prairie Dogging.

The friends we got them from now have the dorpiest dogs ever. Why they ever gave these two dogs to us is a mystery but I'm happy they did.
