We rescued our awesome Chico from TLC around March of 2010. He was so calm and mellow and sweet! We found later why he seemed so relaxed. He was sick and just didn't feel good. Not to mention probably confused going from a stray, to a road trip, then into our home. It took some time and lot's of vet visits but we got him feeling great. He had three kinds of worms and bad kennel cough. After his treatments and feeling better the poor guy broke out in hives from his booster shots! He was all puffed up and had hair sticking straight out from the hives raising on his skin. He just didn't seem to be able to catch a break.
It is now almost a year later and he is happy and healthy. He has tons of energy, loves his walks, and treats. He has one doggy sibling and two cat siblings. He was not sure about the cats at first. I think his instinct was to catch one and eat it. lol Now our big cat Otto comes and rubs all over him giving Chico hugs.
Chico did not know how to play really. Sometimes he'll fetch for a bit but will stop and play with his toys by himself by throwing them in the air and hopping around. It's so cute. I have taught him to sit and sit up. Pics below. He is a handsome guy and and we are VERY happy to have him in our family.
Thanks TLC! Amy and Elise
