...But it just didn't seem fair not to say hello to all the other dogs while we were there, so we had a nice visit with Bocce, a long haired Chihuahua who was snarling and snapping at everyone. We were told Bocce had food aggression and was very barky. There was just something special about him and I fell in love with Bocce immediately. We all decided we would do our best to bring these two new dogs into our family and give them safe boundaries and love. We ADOPTED BOTH!
It's been 2 months since we brought them home and they are MORE wonderful than we thought with a few little surprises. We had no idea how intelligent Chihuahua's are and it's a pleasant surprise. Also adopting a 2 year old and a 5 year old both already potty trained, leash trained, and sit on command. That's great. Their personalities are so fun and all four dogs are playing together, sleeping together, and eating together.
Cocoa is a cuddler, he really only wants to curl up in our laps and lick. We are teaching him boundaries with licking. He enjoys his daily morning walks and keeps up with the pack. He's gaining weight and loves to eat his food to the last drop!!
Bocce is now comfortable with everyone in the house, eats peacefully with the other dogs, and tries to engage the cats in play.
We love Cocoa and Bocce and couldn't be happier. These two are such a wonderful addition to our family and have brought many laughs and giggles so far. We would do it all over again.
Thanks PUPS for all your hard work and volunteers!!
