Meet one-year-old Teo, a white and tan Chihuahua who enjoys catching rays near the Miami Lakes Golf Club.
Teo lives in Miami Lakes with Alien Catalan, his wife Elizabeth Aguila and daughter Diana
Aguila.
“He is friendly with people, but he doesn’t like other dogs,” Catalan said in Spanish.
Catalan said the family is working on getting Teo to be friendlier with other pups.
The tiny guy doesn’t have a problem with cats.
A friend gave Teo to the family.
“We didn’t want a dog … but we fell in love with him,” Catalan said.
Teo is quiet at home and usually only needs a reassuring pat if he gets upset about anything, like when his humans leave the house.
His nightly ritual, or rather early morning routine, is to seek a snuggle with the couple.
“[He] comes to the bedside at 3 a.m. to be let up into the bed,” Catalan said.
When Teo’s not burrowed into blankets like a tamale, Catalan said he enjoys his walks and is popular with the neighbors.
