Me as Animal: I only follow calm-assertive energy. I will pick at you if you have negative energy. I can't really tolerate excited/aggression energy. I will discipline that energy until they are calm. Don't worry, I am not harsh. My great students were Rocky and Pancho, and they were really out of control. I just love having my peace. For survival, we have to keep a good energy. My energy level is low. Because I eat raw meat/ raw bones, I am now at a medium energy level.

Me as Dog: I was the Alpha of my litter. My sister was the submissive one and my brother was active submissive. When Rocky and I first met at my dog mom's house, it was fine. Within the first 5 seconds of our second meeting at my new home, I striked him because he was not allowed to smell the leader. Who ever is smelled needs to surrender and be submissive. Also, I didn't want a mate to breed. I refused and even to this day, despite the fact I am spayed. Dogs who are not neutered want to mate with me but it ain't happening bro. Well, of course the relationship has changed and I cannot be away from Rocky. We protect each other.

Me as Breed: Mom is a Chihuahua and dad is a black and tan Dobie (yes, that's right). I don't care much about the breed because that is just the outfit of the dog in me. I've been called Rat Terrier (black/tan one but again, no terrier attitude for me), Min Pin (because you see little black/tan dog, you assume Min Pin but I don't have act like a one though), Toy Manchester Terrier (because of my almost shaved chest and they are really skinny like me, but I don't have that terrier attitude). Despite that, for sure people know I got Chihuahua so they know I am a mutt without even asking my breeds. Above it all, to my leader is all the same because I am "dog and animal before breed and personality". Anyway, I got my mom's eyebrow markings. Because my original owner, a college kid,  didn't spay mom I was born. I was born in Riverside, CA. and I was part of a litter of three. My pack thought I was a premature Rottie/Dobie pup because I was really chubby and had really big paws and my legs were long and that face, exactly like those guys. You would never think of me growing like a toy dog at all. Just to give you an idea of how I really looked back then.

My Personality: I am very affectionate and always ask permission to give kisses and wet willies. I'll even ask permisson to sleep with you and to go outside to release myself. Every morning Rocky and I give kisses and lick each other and then we go outside to sunbathe for a bit until our leader gets ready for our morning walk. I do walk by my leader's side. I love when my family sings. How do they do that? I never played when I was a puppy so I am just starting to play and boy did I missed out! I My leader says that my play is so beautiful.I like to carry my stuffed toys around but I don't destroy them not do I battle for them when my leader says to stop. I am not a destructive type dog either. I am a sleepy head and I only like to sleep with my leader because she knows my best comfort. I love to follow my leader around and I get along great with other girls. I love the calm and submissive ones too. I love belly rubs (meaning I am submissive to my family). I am not ashamed to admit my wrongs (like when I go potty where I'm not allowed...sorry mom). I have a great eye sight and hearing. Rocky does the smelling. I understand when I am not allowed to eat taple scraps but rather my own food. I will respect your boundaries is you know how to ask for it. I don't like when someone gets my paws or have them handled. Because my leader uses a Mini-Mite Dremel for my nails, my leader has to work with me more than Rocky. Rocky doesn't mind at all. She just has me sit down and she gets my paw and dremels away. She doesn't want to corner me nor hold me down. I don't like treats so she uses her energy. Oh, and most of all, I love my dad. I'm his little girl and his Muneca! My leader says that dad's energy attracts dogs to love him. Even Pancho.

My Health: I've had health problems since I was a puppy because of improper breeding. My leader never gave up on me. My mom said to my leader that she was afraid I wasn't going to live a long life. My leader believes in quality rather than quantity but if there's a way to add quantity, that's even better. I refused to eat kibble so I decided to go on a hunger strike. I was also allergic to cook meat and grains so again, hunger strike. My leader decided to just feed me raw food and raw bones (have you seen how clean those wolves' teeth are!) and my health has been much better and so has my energy.

This is just an indepth of who I am but for the most part, I am submissive to my family. My leader is working with me with the rest of the world as we have already changed ALOT of my bad behavior. The people below are the ones that I am really submissve to. I do have a lot of respect for grandma.

"When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally." -Lao Tse

"If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience."-Woodrow Wilson

"I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow. 

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in the circled flight.

I am the stars that shine at night.

Please stand not at my grave and cry,

I am not there, I did not die."

I don't actually live with Rocky and Olivia but they are my second home. Their leader is also my leader so that makes me part of their pack. We hang out together and are there to discipline me when a pup needs too. That's cool, they are great at it. On weekends I usually hang with them and sleep over! My boys are being taught by her.  They trust her so much that they made her my caretaker and leader too. My youngest boy always said, "Every boy needs his dog."

He practically begged mom to get me. She did and here I am. He

picked me because he wanted a boy and Olivia to be the only girl. Boys can be more fun if I do say so myself. Girls, they can be such ladies. I was brought home on "Cinco De Mayo" so grandma picked my name, "Pancho". About my breed, I was told I was Chichuahua/Dachshund mix but my leader may think I may be a Rat Terrier and Chihuahua mix. My ears are fully erect now. I may grow up to be as tall as Olivia. And she's tall!

My energy level: high energy of course. I'm a puppy still! Olivia is second in comand on discipline and Rocky third because they know better as older dogs. Rocky is more a big teddy bear. He'll let me pull his ears and lick his mouth. I love chasing his tail!

UPDATE from my leader: He was such a great dog. He loved everybody and everything. Always to see his family and wanting to always follow you around. He was an awesome addition to the pack. His teacher Olivia had just graduated him from puppy classes because she felt he was ready. She would actually start playing with him. He was always full of life. So much energy to give that infact, Olivia has now started to be more energetic. I guess a piece of the "Pancholin" rubbed onto her. Rocky lost a great playmate and partner. Rocky is so full of energy too that he was happy to meet another boy who knew how to be boys. He was the "Swee'Pea" to Olive Oyl and Popeye. Pancho had the most beautiful face. He had those "Puss In Boots" eyes and his ears were bigger than his face but always alert. He had the cutest underbite too! He died of a deadly virus unfortunately that hits hard during the summer here and his body couldn't fight it, but he was always a strong fighter to us. He was soo young but his energy was greater than anything. He died in the comfort of the home and his ashes would be with his family because he still part of the pack.

-My leader's pick: Mexico's dogs getting free/spay services. Visit the Humane Society de Tijuana, http://www.hstj.org/

-The Doberman Gang (Olivia's pick)

-From Olivia.

-From Rocky.

-From Pancho! You gotta love the song. You know you were crying!

-From all of us and for all dogs who deserve better.

-Leader's Pick: Moby on humane eating. Go Vegan or Vegetarian.  I know it can be hard so if you do choose to eat meat, please choose organically or caged free products. That way, you know your meal is "humane eating". Any fast foods out there that serve caged free food, Burger King. If you live in California, try "The Spot", they sell Veggie Burgers. Belive me, it sound crazy but you'd be amazed!
