Most of the NEO residents I know are animal lovers and most have at least one pet. What is your favorite pet? For many NEO residents its the Chihuahua! I don't have a Chihuahua, but I was invited to my first Chihuahua meet up yesterday afternoon. The meet ups are organized by a group of local Chihuahua owners who use technology well to make friends and share information. You can visit their website at http://chihuahua.meetup.com/46/?gj=sj3

This meet up was in the backyard of Rebecca Pixley at 4 pm on Saturday afternoon. Rebecca, the group's organizer and her dog Toadie just moved to NEO from NYC. Her backyard is perfect for a Chihauhau party; she has a comfortable deck for humans and a fenced yard with soft grass for dogs. Chihuahuas come in a many variations of small and cute and they seem to be a remarkably social breed. It was not what you might expect of 12 dogs together – some meeting for the first time. There were no fights, no barking, only friendly sniffing and a little silly puppy play. The seven or so humans shared proud stories about their pets, information on vets, other pet services and doggie clothing and accessories.
