Six months ago he came home; my neighbor decided it was too much work to take care of him and practically through him away. I really didn’t want another dog but, he was so small and he was in danger of being run over by a car.
I talked to my neighbor and asked him if he had any problem that I took care of this small dog from now on and He had not trouble at all, he even offered me his toys, leash. My neighbor told me a little bit about Terrie, that’s his name and he is a two year old Yorkshire terrier.
(this is from his first day in his new home)
Right away, I took him to the vet because he had a bite wound on his neck a byproduct of being alone on the streets for some days. My vet told me he was seriously underweight, just 2 pounds, he needed treatments for a lung affection he was having and obviously antibiotics for the neck wound.
He was down for a week, but when he recovered he was full of energy. I never own a small dog before, but let me tell you it can be exhausting.
Terrie’s little quirks
- He loves socks, he stole all my socks from my laundry baskets and I still trying to find where he hid them.
- He wants to play all day long, he finds me where ever I am at home and bring me his toy of the week for playing.
- Yes, he has a TOY OF THE WEEK. Every single week, he has a new toy for playing thanks to my sister in law
.
- He puts everything he found on the floor inside his snout and he does that because he likes that I chase after him to take away whatever he has.
- He is an attention ho. Jejeje yes he is. He likes to pose when I’m taking his picture
- He believes he is a 100 pound Rottweiler
Really he is a big dog in a small body; he has a lot of personality and he is fun to be around. After 6 month of being with me he is getting fat and he spends his day playing with my other dog Susie
