Hi everyone
thought I would share a couple Ricky stories. My hubby is from India. He was
raised without pets and was raised not to have any. In India many many dogs run
the streets starving and are not friendly with people. They are Strays from
birth. They do not have a dog shelter or anything like that I know of.
For 9 years, my hubby did not want a dog or any pet when I asked. I did not
bother him much about it until I really wanted a dog, and then had to
beggggggggggg for one. I promised him it would be a very small dog and I would
take care of it etc... well he finially gave in! That is when I got Ricky. Its
taken this 3 months, but my hubby really likes Ricky now. He will not hold him
or let him on him, but he does pet his head when Ricky comes to him for
attention. anyway, do you know who spoils him more than me? yup! my hubby. He
always gives him part of what he is eating, drops pieces on the floor for
Ricky. Just see the pictures! See the begging Ricky does?? no matter how much I
ask my hubby not to feed him our food... he does it anyway, saying look at him,
he wants some. LOL I really dont mind. They bond this way. Please know that I
took a picture after each time my hubby gave him a piece of food. (he only puts
the food on the floor).
ohhh and I forgot to say, as most of you know, Ricky is toy crazy... guards
them with his life, etc. After each time Ricky got a bite of food, he would run
into the bedroom to make sure his NEW plush toy was still in his bed. sooo
funny!! He even has taken this toy out for walks with us!! He does not want to
leave it in the house. He carries it and prances along, puts it down to pee,
picks it up and prances some more... and people get a kick out of seeing him
doing this. I mean his toy is almost bigger than he is. Pic of ricky & his
plush toy also included
