Chihuahua Love

Loving Chihuahuas was a big surprise
From, I love big dogs and cannot lie
To that small package, bag of attitude
That won me over in a heartbeat.
The image of a yapping, snapping,
Don’t mess with me kind of dog.
Not always true, personalities unique
This Mexican dog, the smallest pure-bred
Loyal, bold and protective, a Velcro dog
Wants your attention, still biting your hand.
Or barking until your head may explode
Such a vicious sound from a small frame.
If you were that tiny in a world so large,
Might you not bark, too? Not of fear
But being bold, never an underdog
I am a Chihuahua, hear me roar!
Stubborn, bossy, sweetness, too
Curled up on your lap, under a quilt
I love you eyes melt your heart
Tiny but mighty, I am a slave to their love.
