I first met artist and illustrator, Lisa Congdon, at last year’s Alt Summit Conference. But before we ever met in person, I had known of her fantastic Chihuahua, Wifredo, and all of his photogenic moments via Twitter. Today I am so glad to have both Lisa and Wilfredo sharing their story.

Chihuahua Mix

How did you and your dog come to be together?
About five years ago, I started my search for a dog. Initially I thought I wanted to rescue a French Bulldog. I have several friends with Frenchies, and I love them so much. So I got connected with a rescue here in San Francisco. I told the woman who ran the rescue that I wanted to adopt a dog who wouldn’t chase my cats. She said “You don’t want a Frenchie, then!” But she also told me, “I might have the perfect dog for you. And he’s a Chihuahua.” I had never considered adopting a chihuahua! I agreed to go meet him, and it was love at first sight. He was five months old and completely adorable. And he didn’t chase my cats! In fact, he’s always been very good with my cats.
