Digital+Story

This is a story about my Chihuahua named Tortilla. It took me a couple of days to think of an idea for my story. I wanted to do something personal, but when I started looking through my 3,000+ digital pictures, I realized that most of them were pictures of the dogs in my family or in my extended family. Some may say that telling a story about a dog is not personal, but to me it is intensely personal. Tia has been part of my life for nine years, and she means everything to me. Although this story is a fantasy, many of the basic ideas are true: Tia is an aggressive four-pound animal who believes she is the alpha dog; she does not like other female Chihuahuas; and there is a constant battle when we visit her dog cousins. Despite all this, I love her dearly. I know that Tia won't be with me forever, and I wanted to create something for her to help me laugh and remember the good times we have had together.
