Does your Chihuahua run away once you let them outside to play and use the bathroom? Some Chihuahuas instinctively sprint towards the neighbors home once the outside door is opened, leaving owners to question the effectiveness of their coaching. If this sounds familiar, look at the five commonest reasons why Chihuahuas run away -- and the way to prevent it -- listed below.

Not solely is this kind of running away behavior frustrating, however it is also quite dangerous. There are dozens of ways a 'free-roaming' Chihuahua will injure themselves by venturing from their home, a number of which include:

Hit by a car

Skirmishes with close dogs and cats

Attacked by wild animals

Getting into pesticides, antifreeze, oil or different dangerous  chemicals

Of course, there's additionally an opportunity of your Chihuahua running away from home and not returning, that is something no family desires to experience

As an owner, it is your responsibility to safeguard your Chihuahua from dangers like this. the first step in fixing this drawback is to spot why exactly your Chihuahua feels the necessity to run away.

Reason 1 Searching For A Mate

If your Chihuahua is not spayed or castrated , they will run away in search of a mate. Unfixed females in heat unleash powerful pheromones that males will smell from over a mile away! And although your Chihuahua is obedient and well trained, mother nature's 'mating magnet' can instinctively cause them to run away.

It's clearly easier to spot a female checking out a mate, as their private parts can become swollen and bleed for roughly twenty one days. Males, on the opposite hand, will run away anytime there is a female in heat around; thus, owners of male Chihuahuas ought to use additional caution when taking them outside.

However the bottom line is that all Chihuahuas -- unless otherwise stated by your vet -- ought to be fixed to cut back the possibility of them running away. By spaying or fixing your Chihuahua, they will no longer manufacture the hormones to blame for finding a mate.

Reason 2 Boredom

Another reason why Chihuahuas run away is as a result of they're bored. it is a common assumption by first-time owners that Chihuahuas don't need constant amount of outside leisure time as different breeds because of their little size. instead of taking them out on a daily basis, some homeowners leave their Chihuahuas cooped up inside for long periods of time, leading to boredom and pent-up energy.

Chihuahua affected by boredom and/or pent-up energy are more likely to run away once given the possibility. owners should understand that Chihuahuas -- like all dogs -- are complicated animals that crave mental and physical stimulation. just because they small does not imply you'll be able to leave them locked up within the house all day long.

Whether it's going for a walk, taking part in fetch or simply laying out beneath the sun (Chihuahuas LOVE sunning), take your Chihuahua outside on a daily basis to cut back the possibility of the them running away.

Reason 3 Lack of Obedience

It's downright frustrating after you call your Chihuahua to come back back only to have them get away in the opposite direction. If this seems like a well-known state of affairs, your are not alone. Lack of obedience is an all-too-common problem, making it tough for walks and leisure time outside.

When a Chihuahua doesn't view you as the 'leader of the pack,' they're going to be more willing to run away while they're outside. And to create matters worse, a disobedient Chihuahua won't come back after you call their name. you can yell till your lungs go dry only to have your Chihuahua take off down street or into the neighbor's yard.

So, how does one fix this frustrating problem? the first step is to only let your Chihuahua outside after they are connected to a collar and leash (or lead). now once you are walking and playing with your Chihuahua outside, teach them a recall command like "come here boy," or "back Mildred." offer them plenty of slack on their leash and speak the recall command when you are ready to go inside. If they obey your command, provide them plenty of warmheartedness, praise and after all a treat.

Reason 4 Mistreatment

A fourth reason why Chihuahuas run away is because they are being beaten by their owner at home. in a good world, every and each Chihuahua would receive the unconditional love and attention they deserve, but this world is way from perfect. Some owners hit, slap and otherwise physically abuse their Chihuahuas, which naturally encourages them to run away once given the possibility. you can't expect a Chihuahua to pay attention and obey their owner if they're being abused.

Note: mistreatment isn't restricted strictly to physical abuse. Neglecting your Chihuahua and their need for attention is another type of abuse which can contribute to their running away problem.

Reason 5 Seeking friendship

When they don't get it at home, Chihuahuas could run away to seek companionship from other dogs or individuals. This reason goes hand-in-hand with mistreatment, as neglecting your Chihuahua and avoiding them on for days on hand can only encourage them to get away. give your Chihuahua attention and friendship so that they want to remain at home.

Tips For Preventing Your Chihuahua From running away

Have them spayed or castrated 

Teach them a 'recall' command, such as "come here Amos!"

Use treats as a reward once your Chihuahua successfully obeys your recall command

Never punish or scold your Chihuahua for running away, as this sort of negativity will only encourage this unwanted behavior.

Walk your Chihuahua on an extended lead or retractile leash till they obey on your recall command

Show your Chihuahua tenderness and love on a day after day. 

Now as you can see from all the pictures, we are lucky to have some wonderful and amazing likeminded friends that have some adorable sweet chihuahua's that come and have regular playdays. 

This has helped with Miss Mildred, Vinyl-Violet and Sir George and their recall as I use a noise that they all come too. 

Miss Mildred is able to free walk as she sees myself as her leader, 

Vinyl-Violet is still learning what our pack walk is all about so when we are in a area,  where they are unable to get to the road or run off into the bush (normally in the middle of the oval) I allow  Vinyl-Violet and Sir George the freedom of free walking yet they are still attached to leads, and they do come back when called so things are going great, and before long they too well be able to be trusted like their sister, Do you allow your furbabies to free walk? 

Let us know what you like to do when you walk your Chihuahua's and other furbabies. And thanks so much for reading! 

See You All Soon!

Miss Squeak Talks Apple and Deer Head Chihuahua's

Deer Head vs Apple Head Chihuahua – What’s The Difference?

Okay so today is the day we talk about this issue as it has come up  before but I never addressed it so her we go,

If you have done any research into the Chihuahua breed, you've most likely heard of deer head and apple head getting used to explain them. Breeders, veterinarians, consultants and furbaby owners often use these terms to explain specific Chihuahuas based on their physical characteristics and look. The actual fact is that most Chihuahuas will either be classified as deer head or apple head based on how they appear. So, what precisely do these unusually-sounding terms mean? Keep reading and i can reveal the variations between deer head and apple Chihuahuas and what you need to understand regarding them.

Naturally, one would possibly assume that deer head and apple head Chihuahuas are a particular breed. After all, with such a large amount of individuals referring to their Chihuahuas with these terms, logic ought to tell you that it's a certain breed. If you discuss with the American Kennel Club (AKC), United Kennel Club (UKC) or Chihuahua Club of Australia you merely will not find these varieties formally recognised. this is often a somewhat similar scenario as the term "teacup Chihuahuas," Which I have also  explained on another section of my blog. Even if individuals use the terms apple head, deer head and teacup daily to explain their Chihuahuas, the reality is that none of those are officially recognised varieties by any major canine association

Apple Head Chihuahua Characteristics and Information:

As previously expressed, no major canine associated, The Australian Kennel, recognises apple head or deer Chihuahua varieties. you can check their web site, send them an email or call them up in person if you do not believe ME. However, they do place an emphasis on the "apple" form of a Chihuahua's head because the breed standard. Both the Chihuahua Club of America and also the AKC state the breed standard's head must possess "A well rounded 'apple dome' skull, with or without molera."

If you are questioning what a molera is, let ME explain - Chihuahuas ar often born with a soft spot in their skull wherever the bone failed to properly form. Instead of  having a tough, thick bone that totally protects their brain, a Chihuahua with a molera can have a rubbery patch underneath their skin. While  it does not supply as much protection as a tough boney skull, it still offers a valuable line of defense against head injury. The exact range of Chihuahuas stricken by this condition is unknown, however some breed experts claim that up to 80th of Chihuahuas have a molar.

Here are a number of the characteristics of an apple head Chihuahua:

Short muzzle

Prominent jawline

Large, distinguished forehead

Round, apple-shaped head (with or without molar)

Deer Head Chihuahua

Deer Head Chihuahua deer Head Chihuahua Characteristics and Information 

On the other side of the fence is that the deer head Chihuahua, that are equally as common as their counterpart the apple head. Because the breed standards set by the main canine associations specifically state that the top of a Chihuahua should be apple-shaped, deer head Chihuahuas are often excluded from tournaments and shows. Some folks even regard them as poor breeding thanks to their informal formed head. Do not  let that stop you from owning one, though, as they can make  terrific pets that are just as doting, mischievous and fun as apple heads.

Here are a number of the characteristics of a deer head Chihuahua:

Like the apple head, deer head Chihuahuas may be found with or without a molera.

Tend to have less health issues.

Long snout protruding further out than apple head Chihuahuas.

More slim skull that resembles the head of a deer, thence the name.

Many owners swear that deer head Chihuahuas are more manageable and less aggressive than apple heads.

Should I Purchase a Deer Head or Apple Head Chihuahua?

Whether you ought to own a deer head or apple head Chihuahua may be a choice that solely you'll make. Because of  their cute and tiny size, many of us base their decision on appearance alone. whereas there's nothing wrong with taking into account however a Chihuahua puppy appearance, you should really be focusing on their temperament and traits. Once you've found a breeder with a litter of pups, go over there one or two time to actually sit down and play with them. this may offer you an opportunity to see that Chihuahua pups are mischievous, fun, affectionate and want to be around you. I remember selecting my first Chihuahua, Miss Mildred because she was the peewee who came up to ME and would not flee. I straight off knew she was the one for me and have not regretted making that call.

Something that is necessary to notice is that apple head Chihuahuas are additional prone to health issues that plague the breed. Compared to alternative dog breeds, Chihuahuas have comparatively few health issues, however this does not mean they're going to keep 100 percent healthy their entire lives. some of the foremost common health issues related to Chihuahuas are diabetes, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), inflammatory disease and bone fractures To mention some. deer head Chihuahuas may still suffer from a number of these conditions, however the possibilities are lower than those of an apple head's.

Miss Squeaks Is A Chihuahua Right For You.

Hi everyone and welcome to my latest blog today i thought we could talk about if a Chihuahua is the right breed of furbaby for you. Miss Mildred and myself Miss Squeak have been very busy over the Christmas New Year break so we haven't blogged that much and  

we are sorry about that so now lets get in to it. Remember we would also love to hear about your furry furbabys too!

Is the Chihuahua Right for Me?

Chihuahuas actually are an exquisite very little breed, however they're not the correct breed for everybody. Because they're terribly tiny, special thought must be given on the sort of home they are going too.  Chihuahuas might not be safe with different breeds of dog, like sight-hounds. As furbaby lovers it's our job to do the best research and this suggests asking lots of questions. No one wants his puppy to lead a stressed life, be hurt or abused by babies or different pets, or end up in an animal shelter or not cared for correctly. So here are some things to think about before heading out to get a Chihuahua!

   

 Before acquiring any breed of dog, it's vital to research that breed to make sure this can be the correct breed for you. certain breeds have common health issues, some need voluminous grooming or exercise, some have breed traits like excessive barking in conjunction with several alternative factors that will make it a pleasant breed for one person, however not the correct breed for another. never purchase a puppy impulsively before doing research; keep in mind, this is often a life long commitment. the typical lifetime of a Chihuahua is twelve to sixteen or additional years.

Children: 

Children and Chihuahuas don't mix. This is often not necessarily because the Chihuahua may be aggressive towards kids, however as a result of toddlers and little kids will simply fall or drop a toy on a Chihuahua, or kick a Chi when suddenly racing across the space, or slamming a door on it. A Chihuahua will instinctively sense that a nipper or kid is comparatively speaking, uncoordinated and "out of control" and may create a danger. This is  particularly  true as kids are more uncoordinated and clumsy than adults. 

Chihuahuas don't seem to be only tiny, however the overwhelming majority of Chihuahuas have a soft-spot on top of their head, making them more at risk of injury. Even a baby which means well and loves the small dog will accidentally hurt the little breed by cuddling a Chihuahua too hard or dropping it.  Also, kids move quickly and impulsively, and may kick or tread on a Chihuahua once they come across the room. A energetic family, however well-meaning, are often very hard on a Chi.   The mother, who already has enough to do within the family, would have the worrisome task of "watching out for the Chihuahua" round the clock on a daily basis added to her responsibilities. 

For families that would like to get A little furbaby dog, we'd recommend either obtaining another little breed like a Bichon Frise, a pug or a Cavalier King Charles spaniel which may be ready to stand up to kids better, or at the very least, a bigger sized Chihuahua that is to a small degree more durable. These different pleasant breeds are also affectioned and make nice companions for the entire family.   The bonus would be that lifestyle at home would be more relaxing while the youngsters get older.

Other Pets:

Chihuahuas will get on quite well with different breeds of dogs and different pets, particularly once raised from a young age in this sort of setting, however usually, Chihuahuas mustn't be within the same family as larger breeds of dogs. A larger, robustious dog will simply hurt a Chihuahua in play, or if it suddenly needs to safeguard its food or chew toy, a snap at a Chihuahua may be serious. 

Chihuahuas are typically not good with hunting dog breeds that have a hunting dog temperament (that are food/toy protective, will challenge other dogs, etc.) Because the  Chihuahua themselves have a terrier-like temperament. therefore a hunting dog and a Chihuahua would possibly clash with their similar personalities, and this may be terribly dangerous as a Chihuahua doesn't grasp its size.

Chihuahuas are at risk of eye injuries due to their giant unprotected eyes, therefore having a cat within the house might or might not be a good plan. Laid back cats are best. A cat that's shy or excessively mischievous might scratch the Chihuahua's eyes.

Small Size Consideration:

Chihuahuas don't seem to be the correct breed for everyone because of their little size. Because they're little, they will simply get into places which may not be safe, like places with electrical cords, or beneath a fence or gate. Fences should be properly secured (we nail boards on the bottom) so the Chihuahua can't escape. As described above, they are not essentially the perfect pet to introduce to a family that has kids or different pets. Also, great care should be taken once these very little guys are outside. Birds of prey (hawks, etc.) As well as some cats and other wildlife (such as coyotes) could consider the Chihuahua as being a pleasant snack. Chihuahuas ought to never be left unattended for long periods of your time, and once they are outside, they must be properly boxed in (including with a roof if birds of prey frequent the area). I actually have heard of many instances where a bird of prey snatched a Chihuahua off the ground before the owner knew what happened.

Breed Traits:

Chihuahuas are terribly loyal, and may be terribly protective of their owner. Chihuahuas really are an enormous dog in a very little body. Some folks think about a Chihuahua shaking, and terrified of everything, but in reality, they do not grasp their size and most can challenge larger dogs. Chihuahuas love human attention, and are true lap dogs. Chihuahuas are very personable and have their own personality and temperament, a bit like us . 

Chihuahuas can be terribly intelligent, to the point of outsmarting  you or being downright stubborn. Most are motivated by toy, food, or tenderness to make training easy. Several Chis try to please.

Some Chihuahuas are barkers, whereas others don't seem to be. This trait really varies with the bloodline and therefore the individual. Chihuahuas are not the happy little ankle-biters as they used to be best-known, and their temperament has improved by leaps and bounds with the assistance of accountable breeders doing their part to boost the breed.

As mentioned above, before selecting any breed of dog, make certain to do thorough research on the breed, ask completely different breeders questions about the breed, meet friends/family that have a pet Chihuahua, etc. There are several fascinating books out there to learn more regarding Chihuahuas, and most are useful regarding explaining a way to take care of them.

I also want to address the issue with the  weather as my little Miss Mildred gets so very cold in winter and I dress her most days unless it to hot but on the days its to hot and she has to go as I say naked haha I put sunscreen on her ears nose and head as I don't wan her to get burnt just like you wouldn't like your human baby burnt. Miss Mildred has so many outfits its sometime hard to pick one for her to wear! We have dog shoes for summer and winter.  Well some people think its silly or that I am a crazy Chihuahua lady and gee if thats what they want to think let them, I don't  allow other peoples opinions to trouble me i learnt that lesson a long time ago.

So start your furbaby wearing light tops to begin with then when it comes time for the winter coat you won't be having to struggle with your little love bug! 

I hope you enjoyed the new blog and 

if you have any ideas on what you might like Miss Mildred and I to talk about don't be shy post it in the comments below we are excited to hear them.

Live Love Laugh!

Miss Squeak Lets Talk About Miss Mildred My Furbaby Chihuahua.

 Okay so today I thought we might talk about

my little furbaby Chihuahua Miss Mildred ,

many people still think she is a puppy as she is so very small and little just what I wanted.

I love everything about her from her huge ears too her big brown eyes her sweet little toes and her lovely personality she has to be my best friend and she gives so much affection to my whole family but I am her human and she knows that when we watch tv or are just siting around talking Miss Mildred is there if not on my lap.

I was told to get a male as they are my likely to be lapdogs hmmm nope my little one is never far from us!

I was really scared when we first got her as I had never had a Chihuahua before and she was ever so small and fragile. So when we got her home we had every thing ready for her a special play pen so when we went to bed she would have a safe place to sleep and so we wouldn't walk in wee and poo when we woke up. Miss Mildred was down stairs in the play pen and it worked great for keeping her safe and out of the way when I was cleaning and cooking the kitchen. Then after about 2 weeks she learnt how to get out and in the middle of the night she would be at our bedroom door crying very loudly to be let in. 

We and I mean me would pick her up and take her down stairs to the toilet then place her back into her bed and get back to bed myself.

Then a few hours later the crying would start again bugga bugga bumbum so at this time after about 2 weeks of this it was like gee just put her into bed wit us and she would go straight  to sleep hmmm and the little innocent girl got her way we allowed her to sleep with us until she was around 9mths old  then we started to train her to sleep with her fur brother Sir George and it was hard to do so every time she out of her bed and started scratching at the side of the bed and growling she was told "no bed" and put back into her bed. Still to this day Miss Mildred starts the night in her bed then somehow every morning she is in the bed between my Monster and I cheeky little Chihuahua. But so cute  and lovely at the same time.

The most scariest thing that has happened while having Miss Mildred is when she got stung by a bee wow I was so terrified that I was shaking, I will post the picture below her little face was so swollen and I thought she might stop breathing!

I was one the phone to the vet straight away and removed the stinger from her chin then gave her some medicine and put ice on her face! She didn't like that at all. So thats the most scariest time in her life.

Miss Mildred brings so much love and happiness into our life and I don't know what I would do with out her here to look out for me, When I am sick, As I have an eye problem that can sometimes leave me in bed in a dark room with no light and I had one of these episodes just recently and my little Miss Mildred was on my bed or on my lap the whole time and even went off her food as well what a sweet  little chihuahua I have she is just a true blessing to our life and she is everything I ever wanted in a furbaby she is loyal caring loveable sweet and is always happy is see me when ever I get home even if we have only been 10 minutes its unconditional love Miss Mildred doesn't care if I have makeup on or if I have brushed my hair she is just happy to see me. 

How lucky am I. So far we haven't had any problems with her at all she has been desexed had all her needles and is so very cheap to feed there are so many pluses to having a Chihuahua 

As we have many other dogs in our pack 

Miss Mildred is the only one I don't need to 

clip every 6 weeks and I am grateful for that. 

I am able to clip her nails we ease as I started playing with her toes,  feet and paw pads as soon as I got her and I rub her feet when she sits with me as well and its worked out a positive thing to do as she wears shoes in the summer to protect her feet from the hot ground. 

I would go as far as saying she loves to get dressed up in the morning as we get her out of her pyjamas into her day dress she will sit near her dresses and just wait to get dressed just to cute for words. I was easy to train her to shake hands sit, speak, stop, come and fetch. All thing that everyone should teach their furbabys just so you know your furbaby will be safe while out and about. The way I went about training 

Miss Mildred was treat training and I did this 4 times daily and over a month she was able to do mostly all the things I mentioned above. 

Now Miss Mildred will do them without treats. I get her to sit and give me a high five every night before I feed her dinner, and like magic she is sitting waiting for me with her paw up!

So that is a little look in to the life of my 

furbaby Chihuahua Miss Mildred.  

 I Would like to thank everyone for coming and reading my blogs its a fun thing to do and it keeps me busy I have a passion for my furbabys and just thought  other people might like to read about what is going on with us. So if you have any ideas for a blog just let me know in the comments below and I would love to get some new ideas and to hear your stories about your furbabys and what you do with them.

So once again thanks for reading my blog

Miss Squeaks Truth About Teacup Chihuahua!

Whether you presently own a Chihuahua Furbaby or are thinking of owning one, you have most likely detected individuals refer to a number of them as "teacups" "micro" or similar names. Typically, owners and breeders might refer to their ultra-small Chihuahuas using terms like these. this may beyond any doubt be confusing giving the actual fact that the American Kennel Club and also the Australia Kennel Club solely recognises 2 varieties - the smooth and long-coat. So, what is the deal with names like teacup? Keep reading and we'll dive somewhat deeper into this subject, revealing the reality behind the teacup 

If you previously thought a teacup Chihuahua was a particular breed, you are not alone. There is a growing idea concerning this word that confuses most of the overall public. Since the term is employed therefore oftentimes and by such a lot of individuals, it's virtually taken a life of its own, spreading like inferno. As a result, individuals wanting to add a brand new Chihuahua to their family could ask breeders or pet stores if they have any of the "teacup" breed. rather than correcting them, the breeder can go in conjunction with the charade and try to complete a purchase.

Confusing Names Used To Describe Chihuahuas

As a results of the poor info that is been floating around, various improper names are getting used to explain Chihuahuas. This might not appear to be an enormous issue, however it creates an moral gray area for breeders and sellers who recognize the truth regarding Chihuahuas. For example, if a possible client comes to a breeder asking them for a teacup Chihuahua, the breeder could respond by saying she has them, however just for a price bigger than the non-teacups. Basically, terms like these can be used to mark up the worth on Chihuahuas; therefore, creating it more profitable for the breeders.

Here are a number of the foremost common unofficial names used to describe Chihuahuas:

Teacup

Toy (ALL Chihuahuas are considered a Toy breed)

Tiny

Mini

Miniature

Pocket-sized

Micro

Teacup Chihuahuas - The Facts

While we do not know who the primary person was to explain a Chihuahua as a teacup, the term picked up popularity and spread throughout the early 90s. it is vital to note, however, that no major canine association has ever used the term to explain or otherwise categorise Chihuahuas. Either one or more owners probably remarked their remarkably tiny Chihuahuas as teacups, so beginning the craze that is still occurring nowadays. once individuals hear the word teacup, they now assume it is a sure breed of Chihuahua, however sadly it's some term that several individuals use to explain them.

The only people who have the benefit of confusing terms like teacup, toy and small are the Chihuahua breeders. Now please  don't get me wrong - there are some breeders who can illustrate to the client that teacups are simply a term and not an formally recognized breed. Others, however, can use the public's content as a tool to sell their tiny Chihuahuas at a better value. for example, somebody sees or hears about a small teacup Chihuahua through and friend, so that they scan through the newspapers in search of 1.Because teacup Chihuahuas are not an official breed, chances are high that they'll have a tough time finding one. However, they will encounter a breeder providing them for a higher value than your typical Chihuahuas. The client can probably comply with the price just because they can not find these teacup Chihuahuas elsewhere.

The term "teacup Chihuahua" has been used such a lot that is virtually become an unofficial approach of relating tiny Chihuahuas. once a breeder or store refers to their Chihuahuas as teacups, they're either doing it to undertake and acquire more cash for them, or they're just as confused concerning the word as everybody else. In any case, it is the breeder's responsibility to label their Chihuahuas properly and not deceive their customers in any approach, form or type.

What You Must  Understand About Owning a Teacup Chihuahua

Because of the exaggerated demand for so-called teacup Chihuahuas in recent years, breeders and pet outlets are inspired to try and breed their Chihuahuas to be as tiny as attainable just because they will create more cash off them. the problem in doing so, however, is that little Chihuahuas are a lot of vulnerable to health issues like hypoglycaemia, diabetes, patellar displacement, cardiovascular disease, bone fractures, joint issues, etc. Does that mean you should not get a teacup Chihuahua? It's extremely a personal choice that solely you'll be able to make, However i might advise against getting one from breeders thanks to the actual fact that it encourages them to continue breeding them this size.

If you opt to have a bizarrely tiny Chihuahua, make certain you are willing to invest some time, energy and cash into keeping them healthy. this suggests you will have to take them to the vet for normal checkups to confirm nothing is seriously wrong, furthermore as treat any current conditions they're experiencing. It's only too common for individuals to make the choice to have a little Chihuahua while not realizing simply how much additional work goes into caring for them.

Something else that you're going to need to bear in mind of with tiny Chihuahuas is that they're more likely to suffer from fractures and broken bones than normal-sized Chihuahuas. If you mistakenly roll over on them within the bed, sit on them while they're laying on the couch (trust me, this happens) or even pick them up the incorrect way, they will experience a bone fracture. Be extraordinarily light and carefully around your new Chihuahua to stop such catastrophes from happening. additionally, you will need to keep larger pet dogs and cats faraway from your Chihuahua, as they will accidentally cause injury to your Chihuahua as well.
