My Chihuahua has turned into a Hyena!!!

On the rarest of occasions, even more rare then a werewolf's full moon, my most darling Chihuahua transforms into a hyena.

Okay, a really silly, wonderful, crazy hyena.

He 'smiles' (which I actually caught on camera!) He dances. He makes this crazy hyena-like cry as he writhes with excitement for me to pick him up.

For a creature that uses emotional withholding as his go-to technique to keep me his willing slave, these Hyena moments are like a break in the clouds.

Okay, then, of course, Princess gets jealous and bites me, but hey, it was totally worth that glorious moment of Hyena-i-ness!
