Chihuahua Appreciation Day is here!
Owners celebrate 3rd annual Chihuahua day

 In 2010, May 14 was declared International Chihuahua Appreciation Day by Nadia Alterio, founder of famouschihuahua.com - a website devoted to the loveable breed.

For the third year in a row, Chihuahua lovers around the world will spend the day showing their appreciation of the breed.

The day also marks the birthday of Teaka the Famous Chihuahua, Nadia's inspiration for the website and logo.

Nadia says: "The logo is a symbolic representation of the unconditional love and happiness Teaka has brought into my life."

Chihuahua owners are encouraged to "give them a nice little pat on the head and lots of kisses to let them know how much you appreciate them on May 14."
