ChiChi — She Climbed Into Your Lap Before You Even Finished Reading This

ChiChi has decided she is a lapdog. This decision is final, it was not made in consultation with anyone, and she will not be revisiting it regardless of what the scale says. She will climb onto you, wrap herself around you, and make direct, sustained eye contact the entire time with the energy of someone who has always lived here and frankly cannot believe it took you this long to show up.

The thing is, you are going to let her. Because ChiChi is magnetic in that specific way where you stop trying to apply logic to the situation and just accept that this is your life now and it is actually great.

She is high energy and genuinely playful — the kind of dog who is always ready to go, always up for something, always the most enthusiastic participant in whatever is happening. And then, without missing a beat, she will clock out completely and distribute her entire body weight across your legs for a nap of indeterminate length. She does not see these as contradictions. She is simply a complete dog.

ChiChi is crate trained with zero drama about it, which is the kind of detail that sounds small and is actually enormously appreciated at ten o'clock at night. She is treat motivated to a degree that is almost inspiring — she will do anything for a snack and she has made her peace with that truth entirely. She loves puzzle toys and needs them, because there is a genuinely smart brain operating inside that cuddly exterior and it requires something to work on. She is good with male dogs and has no cat experience, so a slow and thoughtful introduction would be the move if cats are part of the picture.

ChiChi is not looking for anything complicated. She wants someone who gives good hugs, does not mind being followed from room to room by a dog who is simply very enthusiastic about their presence, and is equally open to an adventure in the yard and a two hour nap directly afterward.

She just wants to be your dog. She is already pretty sure she is. She is waiting for you to catch up.
