I learned this afternoon, while hanging out at Arun and Jims cookout, that Chihuahuas were bred to be small for a reason. That reason, according to Nina, the owner of a Chihuahua named Peanut, was so that they could fit into the sleeves of robes. Apparently, they were attack dogs, and people would carry them up their sleeves, like Robert DeNiro carried his gun in Taxi Driver. When bad shit would go down, these ancient people would extend their arms and send these previously-hidden rabid little dogs flying onto the faces their enemies.
As Nina was explaining this, I was looking at Peanut, thinking about how I could, if Id wanted to, crack his little head with one of those walnut cracking tools. I was also wondering how someone with Chihuahuas up his sleeves would fare against someone with a knife.
