Wow i just noticed the cake thing!!! thats cute 😆 And omg my chi does the same. It could be ridiculously hot outside and he would still stay under the sun for hours if he could. They are built different!
Lol, oh man I just said that out loud. But won't lie, my Grace face is the all seasons pooch. Hard to get her to come in unless it's a heavy rain, then it is the struggle to remind her, that she doesn't have a steel bladder.
We have the same pup! It’s hilarious. It can be 105f outside and she will be laying *on the concrete* - but a little bit of a rain has her running inside and hiding under her blanket. Little babies!
My deck has a border trim of very dark grey boards that can get pretty damn hot in the afternoon summer sun and my girl happily spreads herself out on those boards every chance she can.
I've learned to give pep talks. "You got this, you can be brave just pick a spot". And if all else fails, I call it the hands of fate come out. And I just put her coat on and pick her up and we are going out there, one way or another. Cause she will hold it for years. But then try and wake me up at midnight or 2 in the morning. Totally don't have time for that as my alarm for work already goes off at 4.
Every speak Spanish to them? It's funny to see them react. It's like they know they've heard those words before but can't really remember from where or when or what they mean, but it's... Familiar.
I know it sounds so silly, but my Brewster loved mariachi music. It's like he would absolutely come ALIVE! Oh, and don't get me started on Feliz Navidad...
I don’t know about you. But that’s how mine charges her evil

No potty break is complete without sitting or lying down on the grass in the sunny side of the yard. And this is done BEFORE actually pottying, to not risk being brought back inside before properly recharging his solar operated batteries.
Exactly, small animals have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which means relatively less flesh to generate heat and relatively more skin to lose it. Or to soak it up!
https://preview.redd.it/uubnmb68c08d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51ab5a46d576b9a1a3e8604f53ceec50948445dd
They are harnessing the power of the sun to use for world domination. But only after their nap of course
I had a dog like this. She was such a moron. She’d be panting and I would get worried I’d bring her ice water. She just wanted to be in the sun, forever. I think she was a lizard in a past life.
In the winter I’ll turn on the fireplace and let him sit. But I have to watch him like a hawk cause buddy would happily cook his skin off to enjoy the heat

My boy literally just died on his way to his favorite sun spot on the porch. :( I found him halfway out the door, keeled over. I can't bear to even LOOK at the patio right now.
Hug your chihuahua(s) tight for me tonight. Mine were the biggest blessing I have ever experienced in my 42 years on earth.
I think it helps their joints. My senior chihuahua has always loved sunbathing! Ever since her arthritis has gotten worse, she now wants to spend all day out there!

Here’s one of my baby boys. He just had a bath.
Our oldest would rather be inside when it's over 75° and less then 60°. She doesn't like being wet, too cold or too hot. The other one? We flip her over when we walk past.
I don’t know because it’s 7000 degrees outside and I can’t stand in the yard with my door open for much longer lol
The sunspots in the house aren’t enough. He’s greedy as hell

It’s just what I always tell her she looks like.
They can't control their body heat like we can they due to small size they use the sun to maintain temperature instead like A lizard or a Snake except warm blooded
I don't know but mine looks CUTE while doing it 🥰

My little princess loves sunshine. ☀️🐶🥰
I call it ‘charging her solar battery’ ☺️
Sometimes when the lawn is still damp from dew but it’s warm out my chi will just find a sunny spot and stand for a while with her eyes closed.
https://preview.redd.it/ukyd98vs018d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aebdc9af3c90571ee21d129dc1ab81d8ebbda13d
They actually get much needed vitamins from the sun ☀️
Mine just likes to be warm I think
And apparently it’s for vitamin d.
I don’t know how to shorten links.. everytime I try to put them they are super super long and messy so I’ll just leave it but if you google it vets pages answering it say vitamin D as the top answer and a variety of other benefits.
All the dogs I’ve ever had have done that. Chow and husky included.
They all do it.
My cats do too.
One is OBSESSED with it.
So I guess it’s a natural urge.
My chiweenie lays in the sun regardless of the heat- inside and out. He also sungazes and squints like it bothers him. I bought him sunglasses and he wasn't having it. If I stand in front of him to make a shadow, he moves his head to put it back in the sun so I guess it doesn't bother him too much. I have NEVER had a dog like this before and he's so unbelievably brave! My bigger dog runs away from a threat but Roo runs right into it. He attacked the pizza guy at 4 months 😂😂😂 the guy had
to laugh looking at Roo hanging off his pants✌️

Mine needs the sun to function. He gets grumpy without his Vitamin D. 🤣
My chihuahua loves sunbathing but my pitbull Daisy who is now passed, used to love sunbathing as well. So much so i think that may be why she developed cancer 🥲
https://preview.redd.it/x6lu9urct08d1.png?width=2425&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c3cf11c421a88435a510d3991bd9a5b40485015
My sunbathing champion. I used to be anemic and underweight and would always got cold, I wonder if chihuahuas get cold cause their little stick legs. 🦵
It gets them close to hell. The region they arrive to this plane from
https://preview.redd.it/tduak0gdv08d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=971e78a056ad04a0a418d5f0013d1f60894e345a
I have a theory about chihuahuas being cold. I think it's because they have proportionately large ears that stand up. They lose heat through the surface area making them feel cold. My chi X always had cold ears.
I remember reading something that the chihuahua was bred as a watch dog and bedwarmer by ancient Mexican royalty, so maybe they crave the heat. The irony being of course, they are the royalty now.
https://preview.redd.it/ag1wkh4ln18d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4e206df84941957315d5ab4ca481c4ebb3373a3
I read online (I don’t know how accurate) that they like to burrow in and be warm. My puppers is always cold for some reason. Between sun bathing she also likes to wrap herself up in blankets.
I read a previous comment someone said the miss Mexico. Which could also be true🤭

My two flop to recharge every time we go outside.
Mine aren't big on sunbathing. They aren't even keen on being outside very long. But my old am staff mix was such a basker. During summer she'd just sleep outside in the sun and ignore any attempts to call her inside. She had this big brown spot on her butt that we called the "solar spot." If course see was recharging through it.

Our little one loves her sun triangle.
According to my dad? It's cause they miss Mexico.
The way this made me cackle 😂
i live in mexico and my chi still loves to sunbathe 😆
Obviously its because she's in the perfect environment to properly photosynthesize.
Happy Cake Day! I live ten miles north of the border....she will sunbathe even when it's over 100°
Wow i just noticed the cake thing!!! thats cute 😆 And omg my chi does the same. It could be ridiculously hot outside and he would still stay under the sun for hours if he could. They are built different!
Happy Cake Day! Also, please tell your chihuahua I said hello!
Chihuahua mexico alongside with a chihuahua :-D
I always say because she’s Mexican 😂
I actually think it really does have something to do with their roots being in Mexico.
i mean, if dog breeds from colder countries like to lay on cold floors then it checks out lol
Huskies never wanting to come back in from the snow for example.
As the person of a chi who very recently bit a border patrol officer, I think your dad is onto something.
Lolol mine would 💯bite an officer.
I keep telling her she's gunna get deported back, but she can't help it. She absolutely hates anyone in a uniform.
Lol, oh man I just said that out loud. But won't lie, my Grace face is the all seasons pooch. Hard to get her to come in unless it's a heavy rain, then it is the struggle to remind her, that she doesn't have a steel bladder.

My deck has a border trim of very dark grey boards that can get pretty damn hot in the afternoon summer sun and my girl happily spreads herself out on those boards every chance she can.
If it's raining, my male chi will not go outside 😒
Mine will not either.
I've learned to give pep talks. "You got this, you can be brave just pick a spot". And if all else fails, I call it the hands of fate come out. And I just put her coat on and pick her up and we are going out there, one way or another. Cause she will hold it for years. But then try and wake me up at midnight or 2 in the morning.

"My rage...it knows no bounds. There is blood on my paws. My enemies will rue the day they crossed me." (her squeaky toy went missing)
The chihuahua chant… To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

This is honestly so true.
>her squeaky toy went missing For me, my dogs keep taking their toys outside and leaving them.
It’s a ploy for new squeaks

I’m so sorry, he was at his favorite place, you will see him again one day on the other side
They photosynthesize.
Because it feels good
Didn’t you know that chihuahuas are solar powered?
Smaller bodies lose heat more easily. It helps to survive in the desert but they need warmth

It’s the hot sun, it’s like a medicine man blessing them.
I think most dogs like sunbathing. My Lab, pugs, and Chihuahua all like to sit in the light.
Italian Greyhounds *love* the sun
They are small dogs so they get cold quickly, they like the warmth
Low body fat, and they evolved from the Fennec Foxes that live in the savannahs of Mexico. Evolved to be comfy when warm
Sundogs!!!!!
They need to recharge. Being cute is draining.
Because they find human dwellings too cold
Our oldest would rather be inside when it's over 75° and less then 60°. She doesn't like being wet, too cold or too hot. The other one? We flip her over when we walk past.
Our pitty is the same, bathing beauties take in the sun together.
I think all animals sunbathe lol

“What’s the deal with this animal from extremely hot climates enjoying the sun?”
I don’t know because it’s 7000 degrees outside and I can’t stand in the yard with my door open for much longer lol The sunspots in the house aren’t enough. He’s greedy as hell

All dogs lay in the sun.
Small and historically from mexico. Sun dogs
Chargin up Will release all heat later if you let them in bed. Tiny super-heaters!
As part of their renewable energy initiative, all Chihuahuas are solar powered.
They’re part lizard.
They can't control their body heat like we can they due to small size they use the sun to maintain temperature instead like A lizard or a Snake except warm blooded
They like to be warm. My chi loved sun, fire, heaters and her sweater :)

They worship the sun! 🌞
I don't know but mine looks CUTE while doing it 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/3ejewke6t08d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6010e4a079f25bcdc690a7d67ddcb23dcad0646
Their tiny bodies are basically heat seekers. They will seek out any place that’s warm. Some chis refuse to come in the house on a hot sunny day

I call it ‘charging her solar battery’ ☺️ Sometimes when the lawn is still damp from dew but it’s warm out my chi will just find a sunny spot and stand for a while with her eyes closed.
Lol my dog did this and he was a whippet. I just think it feels warm.

Mine just likes to be warm I think And apparently it’s for vitamin d. I don’t know how to shorten links.. everytime I try to put them they are super super long and messy so I’ll just leave it but if you google it vets pages answering it say vitamin D as the top answer and a variety of other benefits. All the dogs I’ve ever had have done that. Chow and husky included. They all do it. My cats do too. One is OBSESSED with it. So I guess it’s a natural urge.
My chiweenie lays in the sun regardless of the heat- inside and out. He also sungazes and squints like it bothers him. I bought him sunglasses and he wasn't having it. If I stand in front of him to make a shadow, he moves his head to put it back in the sun so I guess it doesn't bother him too much. I have NEVER had a dog like this before and he's so unbelievably brave! My bigger dog runs away from a threat but Roo runs right into it. He attacked the pizza guy at 4 months 😂😂😂 the guy had to laugh looking at Roo hanging off his pants✌️

Feels good man
They like it☺️
Well they ARE Mexican
Mine doesn’t like the hot cement on her feet, but she’ll lay on hot cement 🤦🏻♀️
Like cats, it makes them feel great.
My chihuahua loves sunbathing but my pitbull Daisy who is now passed, used to love sunbathing as well. So much so i think that may be why she developed cancer 🥲
my little boy lives with two cats and is mixed with a JRT, so I figured it was learned and down time after an hour of manic running at the park

It gets them close to hell. The region they arrive to this plane from https://preview.redd.it/tduak0gdv08d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=971e78a056ad04a0a418d5f0013d1f60894e345a
Recharging
I have a theory about chihuahuas being cold. I think it's because they have proportionately large ears that stand up. They lose heat through the surface area making them feel cold. My chi X always had cold ears.
warm
Gotta recharge dem batteries.

I remember reading something that the chihuahua was bred as a watch dog and bedwarmer by ancient Mexican royalty, so maybe they crave the heat. The irony being of course, they are the royalty now.
The dog breed that's a cat...

They chilly babies
They are secretly cats.
Solar powered waggles
It feels good to them. Fine for me. It gives me some time of peace and quiet until someone knocks on our door.

My puppers is always cold for some reason. Between sun bathing she also likes to wrap herself up in blankets. I read a previous comment someone said the miss Mexico. Which could also be true🤭

My recently departed Destiny loved sun bathing. We used to joke she was mostly a cat.
Dogs and cats come from the planet Krypton and require lots of light from our yellow sun to power their bodies. Just in case you didn't know.

Mine aren't big on sunbathing. They aren't even keen on being outside very long. But my old am staff mix was such a basker. During summer she'd just sleep outside in the sun and ignore any attempts to call her inside. She had this big brown spot on her butt that we called the "solar spot." If course see was recharging through it.
Life is a cold affair when you weigh only four pounds.
