Owned by Rita Kimball, Spike as of Dec. 7 was 23 years and 43 days old. The Chihuahua mix is nine inches tall and weighs 12.9 pounds.
Well, it's worked for Spike, a Chihuahua mix who according to"In his early years, he loved Doritos,” said owner Rita Kimball, of Camden, Ohio. “He liked them crunched up and would eat the cheese Doritos every time we had them.”
Kimball told Guinness World Records that she and her family found Spike in the parking lot of a Camden grocery store about 13 years ago. He was 10 years old at the time, though it's unclear from Guinness' article how Kimball determined his age. Taking pity on the poor fellow, Kimball decided to take him home with her. “When we left the store and entered the parking lot, he followed,” she said.Doritos aside, it's a healthy diet, room to roam, daily exercise and unlimited love and attention, according to Kimball.
“When he was younger, he tried intimidating the cows and horses by barking and trying to chase them,” Kimball said. “Now they just stare at him and don’t even move.”When not napping, Spike enjoys playing cat and mouse with Foxy the housecat and hiding his toy fox around the house.
