The Escapades of Two Small Chihuahuas, the Cat They Love to Tease, and Various Other Animal Tales

Vintage Chihuahuas
This afternoon I was picking my way through an enormous amount of lousy photographs on the internet while looking for something very specific, and much to my surprise found this delightful circa 1930 photograph of this very happy lady and her collection of chis. I'm not sure how it ended up in a search for a "1950's vintage beaded sweater", but no one was more amused to find it than I. And how could this lady not be happy with that many chihuahuas in her arms? One chi is a joy, but five times the happiness? Oo-la-la!

The indifference, callousness and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil first because it results in great suffering in animals, and second because it results in an incalculably great impoverishment of the human spirit.
