We are long overdue for an update, it will be two years in August since we've adopted Chico. We adore him and love to spend every free moment we have with him.
We take him almost everywhere, so he is well socialized. When we go for walks, people in the neighborhood always stop to say hello to Chico (he's very popular), this is when he starts to prance. Chico is very much a fair-weather dog and hated his walks especially this past winter, even though he was well bundled up (who could blame him, being from California). Thank goodness for the fireplace, which Chico will curl up in front of to keep him warm and toasty.
Chico loves his belly rubs and he will show his belly when asked, just to get a rub! He also loves his gourmet t-r-e-a-t-s, and he knows the word if you say "treat", his ears will perk up and he will run to the pantry where he knows they are stored. We've also discovered that Chico loves carrots, so we always have some carrots cut up into bite-sized pieces in the fridge for him. Anytime we open the fridge door he comes running for his carrot treat.
There is so much more we'd love to tell you about Chico's life with us, but it would take all day.
We absolutely love Chico's spunky and loving personality! He always keeps us smiling and laughing, thank you Little Mutts for bringing Chico to his fur-ever home.
