chihuahuas looking like medieval paintings

Timi and Niku are chihuahuas marking their territory in Helsinki, Finland. They pose for this blog like it was 1452. Big-eyed, martyr-like. At the same time apologizing and blaming you for something. Humans behind the blog: Tiina-Mari Haka, Tiina Tuppurainen & Netta Haikonen ([email protected])
