Georgie is my 9-year-old deer head chihuahua, and she’s truly one of a kind. She’s incredibly smart and endlessly cute, with big ears, warm brown eyes, and the sweetest, happiest smile you’ve ever seen. Despite her small size, she’s always up for an adventure—her favorite kind involves a several-hour hike followed by the deepest, most satisfying nap of her life. She’s also a total cuddlebug who lives for belly rubs and gentle pets, and she’ll do just about anything for a piece of cheese, her favorite treat.
One of my favorite memories of her is the time she tricked me in my parents’ yard—I thought she’d disappeared, and I was frantically running around calling for her. Just as I she sprinted up behind me with a huge grin, then immediately ran away and hid under the porch, sitting perfectly still like she was playing a prank. That’s Georgie in a nutshell: clever, playful, and full of love.
