Chiquita

Chiquita was my first pet that was all my own (but I shared her with Chris). She was a blue fawn Chihuahua that I adopted from my mom after she decided she didn't want to breed Chihuahuas. Mom brought her home in September 1997, and she lived to be ten years old. She died on July 18, 2007. Here are all of the entries where I've mentioned her.
