Now why did I never think of this as being the answer to developing healthy relationships? You are a genius, Carlos!
As for the chihuahua, what's going on there? I happened to be in the park with my friend yesterday, whose family are considering getting a dog. Her little girl piped up with "Papa loves chihuahuas!" and my friend then confessed that she thinks her husband might be having a midlife crisis, of which his chihuahua obsession is a symptom. She can't think of any other reason a strapping French man could be so taken with tiny dogs that are meant for old women to be able to pop into their handbags.
