Marilyn came into my life at a moment in which my life was turned upside down. She taught me the essence of love: constancy, commitment and above all, patience. Veronica taught me all about dogs and then I was able to understand and get to know Marilyn from a different perspective. There is a myth about Chihuahuas--they are thought to be aggressive, anti-social and fearful. Marilyn and Veronica showed me that any dog can be the best dog in the world as long as it is understood and guided correctly.
