— THAT PRETTY RUNNER

It is crazy to think my parents rescued these chihuahuas just two years ago. Even though they were two when they brought them home, they are pretty good with adjusting to new things and being a nice balance between obedient and playful puppies. They love to have their toys all over the house, go on rides in the stroller, eat three cups of puppy chow and a piece of chicken everyday, with an endless supply of busy bones. Lucy and Luna can actually carry a couple busy bones in their mouths at once and bring them up on their favorite chair to hide them. These girls play hide and seek behind the furniture, then run faster than bunnies through the house playing tag. They were such a great addition to the family, I highly reccomend rescuing adult mix breed chihuahuas through Helping Hounds. My parents totally adopted them around my birthday to replace me when I went far away for work after college, because they wanted me to stay in Syracuse forever.

Do you prefer a small city or big city for work life? How many puppies would you need to stay home? I feel like I really broke away from the small town with education and work opportunities in my industry, so these dogs are the only things that make me have any desire to be back in town. One of my friends who does the same thing went all the way to SoCal and has not visited home in years, atleast I’m not that bad. There was just so much more outside my area, it was really necessary to move for a real job, adventure in the great wide somewhere. Even for the local job I had to go to NYC and Philly anyway on business trips. Driving and flying really take the same amount of time. I think my favorite weekend was flying from Syracuse to Philly to JFK and driving all the way down Long Island and back the next day to go home to Syracuse. Atleast I like cookies at Starbucks for dinner, but that is why my parents adopted these dogs to make me want to stay in town forever, I have no idea what there would be for me in town forever what a nightmare that would be, but I love twin puppies. I skipped a lot of highschool and jumped right into college, so if I ever taught instead of my job it would make more sense to try to teach classes like the college ones I took in lieu of highschool, I really had to leave home for education and work… Those cute chihuahuas tho.
