Miss Tinkerbelle is a standard Chihuahua who went from unwanted and discarded...
to pampered, spoiled royalty.

Children flock to "Tink" {as she is aptly nicknamed} like seagulls on French fries. And they are, to her, virtual cotton candy. Contrary to what most people think, once a human has encountered this little love bug, they will require a shammy and some pocket wipes to avoid patches of dried "wahwah" drool on their cheeks and lips. A veritable fairy, covered in fur, Tink carries an epic love for people and food. If there be one single crumb of a cracker or cookie in your pocket, she will lull you into hypnosis, disarming you with coos and kisses and like a seasoned pickpocket...and in the blink of an eye - leave you lint free and none the wiser. A note of caution....check your wallet!

Beings of the canine world however, are a different story. One would think the Mascot of National Dog Day would embrace her fellow fur covered friends, however she holds only a preference to the Jack Russell Terrier and draws the "snuggle line" with any other four legged creature. Tink has what we call "Chihuahua-tude". Her motto is "images in the mirror appear larger than they are". This is mostly due to getting seriously beat up at the dog park as a rescued puppy that had already gone through enough uncertainty in her life. Cleverly she has devised a routine called "No Bite - All Bravado" and it works 99.99999% of the time, to stave off prospective offenders. In fact, it has worked so well, that now a Great Dane or Mastiff will be told where to go in the shake of a leg and unsuspecting, curious puppies will be cussed at in several different languages and harmlessly chased in a game Tink likes to call "catch you....pant, pant, pant...if I can".
