    My mother has two chihuahuas. Neither one needs an angel chihuahua or devil chihuahua on their shoulders. Each one barks enough for three dogs all on their own.

    (This is no reflection on chihuahuas in general. She once had another chihuahua who would never bark, ever. Until we specifically taught her to bark on command for a treat. And after that, on command was the only time she ever barked.)

    My parents’ terrier would give in to this dark urge all the time.

    Sometimes we have to wake up and throw a tennis ball for her. She’d grab the ball and keep barking for ages, but at least that way it was like a trumpet with the mute in and we could all get back to sleep.
