Chihuahua Mom Blanket for Dog-Loving Moms

Chihuahua Mom Blanket shows a patchwork of small square panels, each carrying a different Chihuahua saying, all anchored by a big central title. The lines range from playful to proud, and the printed words read the way a Chihuahua owner talks about her dog every day.

Behind the design

The center of the blanket holds the title Chihuahua Mom in large brown letters with little paw prints inside the letters. Above it sits a black-and-tan Chihuahua with wide ears and a happy open mouth, paws resting on the edge of its panel. Around that portrait, smaller panels show a golden Chihuahua trotting, a black-and-white dog curled up and a tan one that looks ready for a walk. Each panel has its own color, from sage green to dusty blue, so the sayings stay easy to find. Hearts, sparkles and paw prints are scattered between them, and a brown border of paw prints and bones frames the whole piece. Every dog is drawn with the same bright eyes and big grin, so the blanket reads as one family of Chihuahuas rather than a collection of random pictures.

Who gets the joke

This blanket is written for the owner who tells people her Chihuahua is a spirit animal. The panels that say Easily distracted by Chihuahuas and I can't get up right now the Chihuahua is on my lap will be recognized by anyone who has tried to get off the couch with a small dog snoring against their leg. The line about glitter in place of dog hair is the one most owners laugh at first, because they have spent years brushing it off dark clothes. Dog lovers who care about tiny dogs and their big personalities will find a lot to smile at here, and so will friends who have been trained to lift the dog out of the way before sitting down.

Gift and choice

Chihuahua Mom Blanket works well as a birthday present, a Mother's Day surprise or a holiday gift for someone who talks about her dog more than anything else. Wrap it up and hand it over, or leave it folded on the couch for a cozy evening with the dog curled up beside it. The fleece throw, Sherpa throw, fleece blanket and Sherpa blanket styles each give the same design a slightly different feel, so you can pick the one that suits the person you are shopping for.
