Actually I was pullling that out of memory as a quote from Napoleon. That was supposed to be his reference to Wellington's army, just before the battle of Waterloo.

Did we also take a small bite, bigger then we can chew?

Aren't those ears something!

We can see a lot of the Chihuahua in her face and body. She does have some signs of the Papillon fur ruffs so perhaps she will grow into something like Riki's coat.
I hope so. The one thing I don't like about Chihuahuas is their skimpy coat. They're such tiny dogs that short hair just always leaves them looking like starving waifs, even if they are well-fed. If she gets a papillon coat, she'll be absolutely, irresistably adorable! (Well, she is already, but who can resist a puppy?) I hope you're ready for high energy too!
