That Alma was the leader of the pups was evident. Pepita couldn't help thinking it had probably still all been about Ernesto's reputation when he took the pups in, but...he had to have done something right if the waited for him, or found him again in the Land of the Dead.
While Alebrijes were tied to their living owners after death, that was really if they still chose them. The pups could have moved on and found someone more worthy. Of course...being pets beforehand, most pets were biased, even Pepita could admit that.
Her bias just happened to still be on the right side of the issue.
"He...tried again with my mistress' great-great-grandson, Miguel, at the Sunrise Spectacular", she told mostly Alma as one of the boys--Pedro? No, Jorge, Pedro later went with him--whimpered and turned back.
But moving on to getting the four some plushies.
"Hmm...", as she paused and listened, Pepita's tail swished in interest, "Well I know that has to be hard with how your...Ernesto", she would not use that term the pups kept throwing out! "...seeks attention himself".
And with what attention grabbing petting magnets most dogs, but Chihuhuas especially, were.
She gave a genuine smile, despite herself liking the pups a bit more and more, "You look out for each-other, that's great".
Just as she did with Dante; and Spirits Knew he needed it!
"Well the plushes are just over here", she lead the way over and leapt onto the table, knocking two down. She knew she had promised to get them four, but paused as she noticed some of Héctor and Miguel as well.
"I'll give you four Ernestos, No te preocupes, but...you know...you could take some of Héctor and Miguel as well". Pepita suddenly thought it would be fitting if the pups had a bunch of Rivera plushes around to stare guiltily at Ernesto and maybe try to awaken anything like a conscience in him. And also...if every time he went out seeking fame the pups carried little Héctors...

"Jorge gets really anxious with a lot of humans around. He doesn't like being touched hardly at all."
