Keep your Chi close if you live in Deming, NM. Someone is stealing them.

Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder

Nikki, of the fantastic site, Obsessive Chihuahua Disorder, is in the process of reading an advance copy of Chihuahua of the Baskervilles.

(Bebe is my fave of Nikki’s Chis, btw. She’s the little mite who is second from the left in the photo below. To give you an idea of how wee she is, Monte (second from right) weighs three and a half pounds. Bebe is the dog equivalent of a sparkling fairy pony or a shoulder dragon with tiny flapping wings.

I have to mention some coincidences between Nikki and the book. Suki is Tripping Magazine‘s staff photographer. She’s half-Japanese. Nikki is also half-Japanese and a photographer. And their names both end in ‘i.’ There will be one more coincidence at the end of the second book, Portrait of Doreene Gray. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Oh, and if you’d like to join a super-fun Facebook group for Chihuahua lovers, join Nikki’s. I’m on there all the time, cooing over photos of Bebe.

Video about canine designer Ada Nieves

Here’s a great short video about Ada Nieves, a New York designer of canine couture, on IndieSceneTV.com. Click the pic above and then scroll down a little. You’ll find the same picture on the right. Click on it for the vid to come up.

And if you’d like to see more videos of Ada and her dogs, there are bunches on YouTube. Click here.

Harry Belafonte, are you there?

I love how Mamy’s coloring makes her look kind of angry.

ObsessiveChihuahuaDisorder has had a website/blog for a long time, but I spotted this wonderfully surreal photo on their Facebook feed. Great people. This is supermodel Bebe, by the way.
