My husband and I are proud parents to a 3-year old Chi who I rescued from the No-Kill animal shelter where I volunteered. His name is Teddy! When we brought him home he weighed two pounds and had been severely abused. He had a leg that had been left unfixed from a birth defect so he could only walk on 3- legs. Well, two leg surgeries later he now runs around like a normal spunky Chi. However, he also had to endure a bleeding ulser that nearly killed him (thank you to VRCC in Colorado who saved his life) and not to mention when we got him at 1 years old, he had been so mistreated that nearly half his teeth were rotted out and had to be pulled. Additionally, after all of this - the poor guy has food allergies too!! However, I know that God brought him to us so he could have the best life ever!! We never had any idea that we would ever have a Chi, we only saw a little guy that needed a chance! Additionally, Teddy lives with his best bud Parker, our lab, our Mutt Canuck and two cats - all much bigger than him and all adopted! However, Teddy still thinks he rules the house. :-) He spends his days in the winter right now sleeping in the sun and on heating pads we have throughtout the house for him to stay warm. Anyway - we love him so much and hope to give another little Chi in need a home sometime soon. I'm interested in the indoor-potty training. It gets so cold here in the winter sometimes he just has such a hard time going potty outside! I'm working with potty pads now so any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
