This meme features a close-up shot of a light brown chihuahua with wide, shocked, slightly disbelieving eyes looking off to the side. White text with a black outline is overlaid across the dog's face and chest, reading 'the world so broke you don't even find random money on the ground anymore'.

This meme features a real small Chihuahua dog curled up wrapped in soft white bedding, peeking out towards the camera with its front paws held up against the fabric. The overlaid text expresses the owner's preference: they did not want a friendly Golden Retriever that loves everyone, instead they wanted a Chihuahua that only loves them and is aggressive to everyone else. The joke plays on the common stereotype that Chihuahuas are unfriendly to strangers and only bond closely with their owner, which the owner finds endearing in this wholesome meme.

The meme is made up of text at the top paired with a photograph of a pet cat. The top text explains that during the poster's household taco night, they gave their cat both a taco and catnip, which led to the cat destroying a sombrero. The photo shows a black and white domestic cat sitting inside a large, damaged sombrero that has a big hole torn in its center, looking dazed, relaxed, and clearly content, presumably under the influence of catnip. Cat toys are scattered on the carpeted floor around the sombrero, next to the base of a rolling office chair. The humor comes from the silly, chaotic outcome of giving the cat treats, paired with the on-theme Mexican sombrero destruction that matches the taco night premise.
