My likes, quirks, & curiosities...
Hi! My name is Benny and I’m very tenacious, sneaky, playful, learning new tricks, adorable, lovable and capable of wrecking anything in my way.

A little about me...
As a real young pup, I was rescued from a Main Street in California and haven’t looked back since. My new family picked me up at a rescue shelter near Concord and I’m so glad they did. I love my new home! I love to play catch with my humans even though they only throw my toys in the house. When I’m outside, I love to chase anything that moves especially bugs and chipmunks. I’m waiting for the day that I do catch a chipmunk…it’d be funny to see mom freak out though! I have the ability of walking over a small snake and not know it’s there. If my family would only let me loose, I could really show whose the boss in the yard…even those big things with antlers… I could keep them away from the gardens!
Since I came from Thousand Oaks California, I’m not that fond of any weather below 70 degrees, and especially rain. I heard there’s something called “Snow” up here in New Hampshire- whatever that is - I don’t think I’ll like it. Mom bought me a fleece sweater that I love to wear even when it’s warm. I shiver and shake all the time, they think I’m dancing but being a chihuahua mix, it’s what we do. Hiding my humans socks and shoes under their bed is what I do best. I can even crawl under kitchen cabinet…yeah, they should really block that off. Because I’m so small (only 7 lbs) I have to walk on my tippy toes of my back feet so I can see things that are farther away. Plus it makes me feel like I’m bigger when we’re out for a walk.
Stealing my human’s grandson’s little toys to make believe they’re mine is another one of my sneaky antics. I’m really rather naughty but it’s what we puppies do to get attention! And you should see me when I’m quiet, I’m absolutely cute, adorable and willing to please!
