We were not even thinking about a chi. The dog I went for I had seen on their website was gone. it found a home. Which was a very good thing. So here we are looking around... came up to this one cage with 2 small dogs that in it. (there turned out to be 3 dogs in the cage) One of them, was barking at something on the blanket, but it was a bit dark and I could not see what it was. Then I saw this little tiny very skinny black dog get up and tuck his tail as this other dog continued to bark and bite at his butt. I saw how scared he was and skinny and had hardly any hair! The attendant told us that he would growl and try to bite the workers when they went in to clean or feed. I bent down and put my fingers thru the cage and he tried to get over to me... but that other dog was still barking and nipping at him. He did get over to me at one point, but only for a couple seconds before the other dog pushed him off. I told the attendant I wanted to see him. she asked us to go down the way and sit in the chairs and she would bring him to us. She was carrying him, the she gave him to me. He was all over me, under my chin, rolling around licking my face and happy to have someone to hold him. I gave him to my daughter and he did the same thing to her. He never showed one bit of aggression towards us at all. We signed the papers, and took him home. The rest is history. but I still think about that day he picked me to be his mom. He was in the shelter about 2-3 weeks before we got him. Was it fate? Was it meant to be? Was it God's Choice for me? for Ricky? I know this sounds dumb, but I just cant stop thinking about it. sorry for this long winded story that most of you already know.. I have something new to be thankful for... MY RICKY!!
