Hola amigos! Chuy Chihuahua here. Today I want to interrupt your normally scheduled blog post (Sorry, I’m not sorry Mama!) to tell you what I look for in an “irresistible” pet parent. I might be small but I’m one confident Chihuahua and I know that I’m pretty much the best dog ever and I deserve the best parents a dog could wish for! I hit the lottery when I got adopted because my parents are totally awesome! I think all dogs deserve parents as irresistible and loving as mine!If you haven’t found your parent yet, I have a few pointers for you!
Create a Pet Parent Classified Ad!
First, you need to create a really cool classified ad just like I did and run it in your local paper! Be sure to include all your expectations and what you’re looking for in a parent!
Five Qualities of an Irresistible Pet Parent
Just in case that wasn’t helpful enough, I’m going to break down all the qualities you should look for in an “irresistible” pet parent. Remember, you deserve the best so don’t settle for anything less. These are the qualities I think ALL pet parents should have!
1. Unconditional Love
Your pet parent should love you no matter what you do. That means even when you pee all over the floor or chew up their favorite pair of shoes they should still show you love and affection. They should never give you up just because you haven’t learned how control your bladder yet. But seriously, you might want to get some help for your shoe chewing problem. I think they have meetings for that. When I was a puppy I chewed up a few pairs of shoes, a debit card, a pack of toilet paper, and I almost ate my Mom’s wedding ring. Don’t repeat my mistakes! Even if you do, your parents should still love you no matter what!
2. Lots of Walks to Cool Places
We’re dogs and we were born to walk! Your pet parents should always take you out for a walk around the neighborhood or for a romp around the park just about every single day! When I told you I hit the lotto, I wasn’t kidding! I’ve been on walks all over the USA; Virginia from the beaches to the mountains, Outer Banks, Houston, San Antonio, Washington DC, Lake Las Vegas, Boulder City, the Hoover Dam, and I even got to walk the Las Vegas Strip! My parents love to take me everywhere they can and I love it! I hope that you get as lucky as me!
3. Endless Belly Rubs
All of us dogs deserve a little pampering and there’s nothing better than a good old belly rub! Don’t be afraid to ask for one. You can’t get what you don’t ask for! Just flip over on your back and give your parents those “puppy dog eyes” and I guarantee they won’t say no!
4. Fun Games Like Fetch Sprinkled with Lazy Days
Even if your parents can’t take you on a walk, they should always spend some time with you every day. It’s fun to play games like fetch inside the house! Although, sometimes all you really need is just a lazy day snuggling on the couch.
5. Irresistible Dog Food
It’s important that you get only the best of the best dog food! Tell your pet parent you want natural dog food that is made in the USA. If you aren’t sure what kind of dog food to eat, let your parents know about Merrick, which is grain free dog food that comes in yummy flavors like real chicken and sweet potato, my personal favorite! If that’s not your cup of tea, Merrick has 125 dog food, cat food, and pet treat recipes!

Dawn Douville says
May 23, 2014 at 1:28 pmMy dogs are the best because they have always been by my side and comforted me when I thought things were at it’s worst. They are the reason I get up in the morning; they are the reason why I love coming home. People think it is strange how I don’t want to leave them at home for long or want to bring them with me places, even if it means I don’t get to enjoy it as much.
Natalie Carlson Brown says
May 23, 2014 at 10:19 pmHi! First off, your lil’ one is adorable! I have the best pet ever because he’s such a good boy. I rescued my boxer boy Neo about 3 years ago and he’s now almost 7 years old. He’s super playful, listens very well, and is a great friend! Thanks!!
