Hi lol... Well, it could be like when I went to the APCA looking for a dog. Heres poor Ricky tiny, skinny, cold, and sweet! At least at the shelter he was! 4 years old, owner turn in... that was all I was really told. We passed him back and forth between my daughter and I, and he was fine, loving and giving kisses bla bla bla. After getting him home, we found out that he is a bit aggressive!!! But I love him, and I am working with him. He loves me to death... he is learning to socialize a little. :). AND THIS CHI GROUP IS WONDERFUL!! FOR HELP, LISTENING, AND CARING.
If I had it to do over again, I would still pick Ricky!!
