Tater Tot is an inquisitive gentleman with a calm energy about him. Like many Chihuahuas he needs slow introductions to new people and noisy environments. While he can be skittish at first, if you give him space then he'll warm up you to you. Once he's decided that you're his people, he'll happily follow you around. He likes to give surprise water quality inspections. Water coming out of the hose must be sampled, if you've come out of the shower, he'll lick your leg to confirm the indoor water quality. He's a gentleman that way.

Tater Tot is a good boy, he's more reserved than Sheba and can be a bit needier. They're typical siblings, they play, they fight, and they hangout. When it comes to food, they must be fed separately as they'll growl and fuss at each other. This may change over time as they're reminded that food isn't a limited commodity and there's plenty to go around. This heart melting duo is ready for their fur-ever home, with plenty of food and love to go around.

Tater Tot and Sheba are ready for their fur-ever family and must be adopted together. These inquisitive siblings need a securely fenced yard and supervision while they go out to do their business. They did fine coexisting with a smaller dog and cats in their temp foster home. They gave Byron and the cats space once they realized neither wanted to play with them. They haven't met any kids, it's likely they'd be okay with respectful teens who understand that they'll need space and time to adjust.
