MeeQuay, a chihuahua/wiener dog mix (chiweenie), is treated like a queen by her adoptive parents, Leeta and Steve Tripp of Pittsburg. In fact, they call her the boss!

Every Saturday and Sunday morning, MeeQuay is served her own scrambled eggs. She insists on it. And, every week, she is given a new toy. She prefers toys that squeak.

MeeQuay, a rescue dog, loves to play on Leeta's lap and watch TV, but she does not like Vanna White. She barks at her! Meequay also likes going for walks.
