Our little guy, Dusty, a.k.a. Boots, a.k.a. Dusty Boots, was born July 1, 2007 as a mix between a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua. The day we went to see him, we met at a Whataburger and were patiently waiting for the puppy to arrive when we saw an old '85 buick pull up. In the driver's seat was a middle aged woman wearing a t-shirt with no sleeves, no bra, and her granddaughter sitting in her lap. In the passenger seat was her husband, and yes, the puppy was in his lap. Chris and I got out of our car to go see the dog. The man placed the dog on the grass while the little girl tried to grab him. At this point, the 6 week old, flee infested, worm filled tummy, shaking puppy dog started to cry. I was overwhelmed and convinced that regardless of what Chris said, I had to rescue this little guy. I picked him up. He was honestly very strange looking and not at all cute considering his bulging belly, lack of hair due to malnutrition, and he was not even comforted by me when I held him. We offered her $50, she was asking $200, and she accepted $100. We immediately left Whataburger and headed to Walmart to buy... well who knows... we had no idea we were really going to buy this puppy.
2 years later I can hardly imagine not having him around. He lights me up when I see him and I know that no matter what kind of day I had he will welcome me at the door with a wagging tale when I get home.
If you have a pet that you feel the same about, you may find the following website to be interesting. The website describes your pet's personality based on their astrological sign.
You will need to figure out which sign applies to your pet before you can figure out their personality. Let me know how accurately it describes your pet. The Cancer personality is RIGHT ON for Dusty. I could not desribe him any better. http://shine.yahoo.com/event/pets/your-pets-personality-462598/
