You know, I honestly can't say that a Grecian Chihuahua would look any different from a Mexican Chihuahua or an American Chihuahua or even a Mexican-American Chihuahua. But what would it look like to see our little Chihuahuas in Greece? That is the question. So, how do I answer that question? Here are my options:
Take the chihuahuas to Greece-seems rather complicated, expensive, time-consuming, I'd have to teach them to bark in Greek, would they even like Greek food? I think Carrie can tell me how they feel about gyros, I'm sure she's fed them gyros before. Joey hasn't had one yet, but he will at some point. Of course, they would look cute wearing little Togas!
Cut and paste pictures of the Chihuahuas onto a picture of a beautiful Greek island-this is the easiest option, but it means more time spent in front of a computer screen. It would seem to me that option one is the better way to spend what little time we have in this lifetime. Besides, have you ever tried to get three Chihuahuas to sit still for a picture? That would be even more time spent on a futile evolution when I could be spending that time in Greece, discovering the beauty of Ouzo firsthand.
Ask someone else if they have pictures of Chihuahuas in Greece and/or Grecian Chihuahuas-I honestly don't know anyone who has either. I could Google "people who have pictures of Grecian Chihuahuas or Chihuahuas in Greece", but I have a feeling that task also falls in the category of "Things that take time that would be better spent in Greece".
Well, it seems like all roads point to Option 1-Take the Chihuahuas to Greece. Yikes! What kind of requirements are there on traveling with dogs to Greece? I'm sure it costs an arm and a leg to pay for doggie fare all the way to Greece and back! Will they even allow us to take the Chihuahuas or is there some sort of silly quarantine requirement?
Wait...I'm looking at this all wrong. It would seem I'm really good at coming up with obstacles in my quest to see a Grecian Chihuahua, but have yet to talk about what I have within me to make this quest happen. Let's try this a different way.
I have a solid job that pays good, and am on track to be clearing my debt over the next two years. I have a wonderful partner, Carrie, who is awesome at figuring out all those little things about animal care, like doggy fares, doggy travel requirements, vaccinations, cheap accessories so they can travel safely, and could easily find a Toga to fit each of the three chihuahuas in their various sizes! I work in the hotel industry, and should be able to get a sweet connection for a wonderful hotel in Greece at an affordable rate that will make the quest reasonable. I am awesome with languages, so learning to ask "Where can I buy dog food for my Grecian Chihuahuas?" should be no problem.
Well, it seems I have no excuse. I'll just have to take the Chihuahuas to Greece, if I'm ever to truly know what a Grecian Chihuahua looks like.
In the meantime, here's what our 3 American Chihuahuas look like:
