Dramatic Chihuahua Interrupts Mom's Workday To Demand a Massage
Stacy Chermol brings her teacup Chihuahua, Franklin, to work with her at the office, and let's just say he's a very demanding coworker. Every day around noon, Franklin starts expecting something very specific, and it's not lunch.
The tiny pup insists on getting his daily mid-workday massage, and if Mom is late delivering it, he has absolutely no problem loudly announcing his frustration to the entire office. Franklin's angry little bark is too cute to be intimidating, and the satisfied look on his face once Mom finally gives in to his demands is totally priceless.

Stacy has said in other videos that Franklin has no coping skills, and his big feelings in this video prove that. She also calls him her diva dog, and she's right about that, too!
