A pet owner got the surprise of a lifetime after returning from a day out to discover her two Chihuahuas had become three.
From the moment Lené Ackermann laid eyes on her Chihuahua Lola as a puppy some three years ago, she knew she was special. “We got her from a friend that was giving away some of her Chihuahuas babies,” Ackermann told Newsweek. “She was the only girl in the litter and the smallest, so we knew we had to take her.”
In a household already containing four cats and a pit bull, Lola has always known exactly how to stand out from the crowd.
“She loves being dressed up; we put her in little dresses and outfits, then she will run around to show everyone her outfit, tail wagging with the biggest smile on her face,” Ackermann said.
A lover of naps who refuses to sleep anywhere other than under a cozy blanket on the bed, Lola is also an avid foodie with something of a Spidey sense for knowing whenever anyone is opening a bag of chips.
Up until recently, Lola’s biggest passion was the army of toys she keeps a “protective” eye over. “She does not let them out of her sight,” Ackermann said.
“She will bark at any other animal that comes close to them. When she wants to eat or go outside, she drops it off with either me, my mom, my dad or my sister. We are the only people she trusts with her teddies. It is adorable.”
However, that all changed one day recently when Ackermann found Lola cuddling up to something far more adorable than any stuffed animal: a Chihuahua puppy.
“We were out the whole day at a sports competition and, when we got home, there was a clean puppy lying with Lola in the bed,” Ackermann said.
Though the owner said she had noticed some minor physical changes, Lola’s pregnancy was a completely surprise.
“It really was not visible at all,” Ackermann said. “You would think, because she is such a tiny dog, it would be quite obvious, but it was not!
“We started speculating a day or two before only because two of the teats started swelling,” Ackermann added. “Despite us having so many animals, we have never dealt with an animal pregnancy before because all our other animals are fixed, so we didn’t really know what to look out for and what to be aware of.”
Westerman shared footage of this unexpected turn of events to TikTok under the handle @lenelickedthat. The video has been watched more than 1.7 million times and, in true Jerry Springer fashion, everyone was desperate to know who the father was.
It didn’t take Ackermann long to work out the likely culprit. “He’s also one of our other Chihuahuas; his name is Pablo,” she said. “But he is only 7 or 8 months old so we had no idea it was even possible for how young he was!”
Spray and neutering procedures play an essential role in managing pet population in the U.S. and helping stem the flow of unwanted pets into the country’s shelter system—but studies suggest there is a serious problem.
A 2025 study published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science project there being a 3.7-million deficit in the number of essential surgeries of this kind performed in high-quality high-volume spay-neuter clinics.
Thankfully, Lola and Pablo’s story has a happy ending. “They’re a happy family now,” Ackermann said. “At first, Lola did not let Pablo near the baby! Not sure why? It took her a while, but she’s allowing him to also look after the baby a little bit. She’s a caramel-colored girl, and we are keeping her. We are still trying to decide on a name.”
