As of Dec. 7, 2022, Spike was 23 years and 43 days old. The owner, Rita Kimball, found him over 13 years ago in a Camden, Ohio, grocery store parking lot. At the time, he was 10. His back was shaved, there were blood stains around his neck from a chain or rope, and he looked pretty rough. According to the grocery clerk, he was fed scraps for three days."

Kimball said Spike followed her family from the store to the parking lot. As she didn't know who he belonged to, she took him in. An aggressive cartoon dog inspired the Chihuahua's name. Despite Spike's small size and friendly personality, Kimball says he has a big attitude.

He only acts like a Chihuahua when someone pets him. Despite being friendly, he sometimes gets testy due to his blindness and hearing loss. A healthy diet, lots of space to roam, daily exercise, and unlimited love and attention were the keys to Kimball's pup's long life.

According to her, Spike wakes up between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. His breakfast preference varies. After visiting the cows, horses, and barn cats at the family's barn, he takes a nap on the porch before returning to the house.

They take walks in their rural hometown on weekends during summer. She said, adding that Spike ends a long work week with a bath on Saturday evening after cutting wood, cleaning fence rows, baling hay and harvesting crops.

Occasionally, Kimball said, Spike indulges in his favorite chips, Doritos, for dinner, and occasionally eats braunschweiger with cheese. The house cat and napping are two of his favorite hobbies. Also, he hides his toy fox.
