Shocking and True!

March 3rd, 2008

The Styrons have a cute little Chiwawa.  They call him ”Tiko” after the little yellow taxis that run around here.  Yesterday, they told us of how a few years ago, they allowed their male “Tiko” to breed with a local woman’s female chiwawa.  She had 2 sweet puppies…like this.  Isn’t that sweet? I know adorable right?!

The only troubling part to this story, is she didn’t keep them, or sell them or give them away….SHE ATE THEM! 

I am leaving a big space just to let that sink in for effect. Can Somebody say PETA? I think I will always remember that car ride  the rest of my life, Chenoa was wearing pink, the kids where quietly sitting in the back, Mike was turning a corner and Chenoa mouthed the word “eat” in Spanish so the kids didn’t hear. It is burned in my brain.

Honestly, I had trouble sleeping last night.  All I kept thinking was, “Why, did she do that?”, “How did she do it?”, “Did she fry them like a cuy…or stew them?”  “What did she do with the uneatable parts?”, “Is there much meat on them?, I mean they are small little dogs and puppies are even smaller.”, “Did she have to fatten them up?” Really people…. the questions are unending.  I tell you what, those Styrons have some stories to tell.
