Chicco

Last night I went to Queens to pick up my first foster dog, Chicco, a 3-4 year old chihuahua/pug mix. He was a stray that was picked up by Animal Care & Control. He is such a sweet sweet boy! He cried the whole way home in my travel crate but he was scared. He's been through a lot in his young life! Rick met me outside and introduced each dog individually. Jameson growled when Chicco sniffed her in her face (she doesn't like that unless it's our dogs) but she was great with him. Finnegan and O'Malley took to him quickly. They wanted to know what the hell he was. :-) Last night was a little hard with trying to feed the baby, make dinner and try to make sure they don't hurt each other. The dogs were trying to figure out who was the alpha so lots of annoying each other, barking, etc.

When it came to bed time, we decided it was best to have him sleep in the crate while our dogs slept on our bed. I didn't want the dogs to think this random dog was taking over their bed and sleeping with their owners. he whimpered for about 2 minutes then went to bed. He was great. Today was a whole new day! They all played together and slept together. They're a lot more accepting of each other today. I know it's the norm for dogs to try to be more dominant over each other.

Waggytails actually found a potential adopter which is really quick and he might be going home with them tomorrow! That was a quick quick foster. I'm happy he'll actually get settled and have his furrever home though. Here are some pictures of Chicco.

He loves the top of the couch for some reason
