Kiko was a bit shy at first, preferring to stay in his crate but gradually explored his new home. Being an "only child", there were a few "toy" and "food" issues to resolve but Rafa was adapting very well to the new member of the pack. They have established their boundaries and enjoy drives, walks and doggy parks. We had Kiko's DNA tested and have learned that his heritage is expectedly a combination of Terriers: Fox(ears/face) /Silky(coat) /Jack Russel(energy, speed and jumping ability). Kiko is still a bit tentative and a bit scared/agressive around large dogs but we are working on that. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night in our bedroom and Rafa sleeps on the bed. They are alone for no more than 4 hours at a time as someone is home for lunch (and a walk) every day. Kiko seems to have taught Rafa how to indicate it's "walk" time by pawing at the door or the door stopper to make that 'twang" sound. We've discovered that Kiko especially loves the sand/beach as he really
comes out of his shell there and chases Rafa around. What a great addition to our family he has become... even better than we'd imagined.
First pic is shortly after arriving in Vancouver; 2nd pic is Kiko looking much better after a visit to the groomer; 3rd pic is Kiko and Rafa on Spanish Banks beach with the City in the background.
