Title: Ted - our pet chihuahua
Post by: Rustle on November 09, 2017, 08:50:31 AM
This is Ted' We rescued him from a woman who rescues chihuahua's. When we first got him he was called Ned but as he was young we changed his name to Ted. He was never abused but he was neglected and left to his own devices and although he was healthy he never knew how to play until we taught him & he did not know what going for a walk on lead was, we had to coax him and sometimes drag him along to teach him to walk.

The first photo is the day we got him and the second was 2 weeks later' we have now had him 3 years and his age is 4

Aww, he's cute! I wish people rescued more dogs instead of getting them from a breeder as there are plenty of homeless dogs looking for love.

He's incredibly gorgeous. Look at the transformation in him in the space of 2 weeks from (I assume) nervously enjoying the comfort to being comfortable and happy around you - just lovely. I'm sure he's very happy having you as his new humans.  :)

He is very happy now and very spoilt you can't help spoiling him. I have to admit we never had small dogs we always had boxers from boxer rescue and our own as well, but as i have an arthritic condition and me and the wife are getting older they are to boistrous' We decided to have a smaller dog after our boxer died at the age of 13.

I will say he is a lot more loving than a bigger dog.

All you have to do is look at that adorable little face, and I defy anyone to be firm and controlled enough to avoid spoiling such a bundle of cuteness.  ;D
