More: I had Chia for eleven years. She was a loving, devoted dog. I will always miss her. She was very smart. In this photo, Chia was living part-time in a mid-rise in the River Oaks area of Houston, Texas. Residents would ask her questions and Chia would throw back her head and answer them. I asked my husband why these men like the retired head of Transco and the retired head of American General were asking her questions. He said maybe Chia was the only one who had the nerve to answer them.
