Watch out you kids!

So in case you haven't already heard, the place we ended up renting in Texas isn't the best. It isn't the worst either, but yeah, not the best. The apartment complex is pretty nice, it's the people that are the problem. Actually, it's the kids. 

I have such a huge issue with kids. Not all kids, just annoying ones. You know, the kind of kids that think they can get away with anything, have horrible behavior, get into everything, etc. It also really bothers me when kids run up to our tiny dog, pick her up, and start bouncing her like a baby. It doesn't bother me just because she gets so freaked out and tries to run inside, but I think it's irresponsible of parents to let their kids do that with dogs, because that child doesn't know how that dog will respond. For instance, certain dogs would attack kids if they did that. So this is what I have started to do with the neighborhood children. Whenever Texas and I are outside and a kid comes out, I pick Texas up so the kid can't grab her. Usually the kid will come over, look at Texas, and ask what kind of dog she is. Texas is a long haired Chihuahua, but looks more like a rat. Anyway, I have started telling children that she is a puppy wolf and that she might attack them if she feels threatened. Hahahahaha. The kids eyes get so big, like saucers. Then really cautiously, they take a step closer....slowly hold out their hand for Texas to sniff...then pet her. If Texas moves at all, they immediately jerk their hand back. Hahahahaha oh kids.

Anyway, I guess the message has spread to the other neighborhood children that our Chihuahua is a puppy wolf because the other day a little girl, who looked about 4, was outside with her dad and when she saw Texas, she ran towards her dad screaming, "It's gonna get me, Daddy! It's gonna get me!!!!"
I don't think I have ever laughed so hard (but I laughed on the inside, because I didn't want the dad to think I was making fun of his scared daughter).

I am a firm believer that you shouldn't punk kids (they're kids after all) but my excuse is that I'm doing it to protect these kids from vicious dogs they may encounter in the future. Now they might think twice before running to  dog, picking it up, and bouncing it, because now they'll wonder if the dog is a wild, puppy wolf.

Anyway, here are pictures of our pride and joy! She isn't ferocious at all, contrary to what we tell people, and she doesn't even bark. She is soooo friendly and loves to cuddle.

She eats bad spirits for breakfast. So watch out.

Isn't her sweater just adorable?

Gosh I love her, the ugly little thing.
