More: Albie and Birdie will go just about anywhere as long as we are all together. Both dogs were adopted from local shelters and though they are not technically siblings, they get along like typical brother and sister. Albie (8) the older, larger Chihuahua is quiet, calm, and loving. Birdie (3), the younger, smaller Chihuahua is full of spunk and sass though she does have her cuddly moments. She ADORES her big brother... He tolerates her. Despite all of this, we are family.
