Lazy dog days of summer...

The addition of the 'pup tent' proved too much for the fosters on a recent warm afternoon day... One climbed inside, another on the side, but SnickerDoodle picked the entrance to lay down at...

Didn't take too much of the warm breezes and gentle sun for Snickers to decide this was the perfect time to take a nap!

Such a well-behaved little guy!

Snickers is such a well-behaved little guy... He learned 'sit' with only three tries and now knows other obedience commands as well (stay, no, off, back, quiet, lay down, etc.)... He learns very quickly and also gets along great with the other fosters... Snickers will make someone a great companion and family member... He loves to walk (and walks well on lead without pulling)... Although he is now crate-trained to sleep in at night, he'd prefer to sleep in your bed at the drop of a hat!

Introducing Snickers

Snickers, otherwise known as "SnickerDoodle" by his foster family, is a sweet, well-mannered and obedient brindle Chihuahua... About 2 years old and 9-10 pounds, our vet believes Snickers was 'maced' by someone and gets daily drops in his eyes... He does this exceptionally well without complaint - our vet says Snickers sees life like through a shower curtain... He can see movement, colors - and can even catch flies!

SnickerDoodle is love bug and prefers to sit on his foster mom's lap whenever possible... Not a marker nor a barker, we can do just about anything with Snickers as you can see from the photo below - he is the poster child for P.A.P.A.'s Flying Squadron (our local grassroots effort to move Chihuahuas to other parts of the country who are in desperate need and with willing arms and hearts)... This effort has saved an average of 50 dogs a month since May, 2010...
