Meet Pedro

This is Pedro.  He’s a senior Chihuahua mix that I adopted from a shelter about two years ago.  He came potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained.  He is one of the most social dogs I have ever seen and he’s very affectionate and sweet.  Why did I name him Pedro, you ask?  I figured that since he was Hispanic, he should have a Hispanic name.  And how do I know he’s Hispanic you’re wondering?  He’s a Chihuahua.  The breed originated in Chihuahua, Mexico.  That’s where they got their name.  Was my dog born in Mexico?  No.  But neither are a lot of the Hispanics in our country, yet they still consider themselves Hispanic.  So my dog can too!  Anyways, the point of this story is that senior shelter dogs can make excellent family members so give them a chance.  You’re likely to end up with a great dog like Pedro.  Plus, old dogs like to sleep a lot which is more conducive to my lifestyle.
