#16 Why do Chihuahuas sit on your lap?
They want to bond with you, and it's something that helps you feel better about life too! To your dog, you're part of the pack, and they want to feel close to you. They want to snuggle and get closer to you, the top dog in the pack.
#17 What is the most common cause of death in Chihuahua?
Heart failure is a leading cause of death of Chihuahuas in their golden years, and 75% of the heart disease is caused by valve deterioration. A valve that regulates blood flow slowly becomes deformed so that it no longer closes tightly. Blood then leaks back around the valve and strains the heart.
#18 Why do Chihuahuas shake?
Chihuahuas naturally have high metabolisms, which can make them shiver when they get excited or anxious. It also affects their ability to regulate body temperature. When an animal has a high metabolism, he burns off body heat quickly. This means that even when you don't feel cold, your Chihuahua might.
