In October of 1998 I was only 6 weeks old and in the hands of a toothless bum. He was holding me up real high in the air on a crowded street so lots of people could see me and hopefully one would buy me. He was trying to pass me off as a Chihuahua and sell me for $65.00. Quite frankly I thought I was worth at least a hundred... well anyway, a lady named Judy Robbins just happened to be walking along and saw me. She offered the bum $45.00 ( how insulting ) and not knowing my true value as a superdog he accepted her offer. She took me back to her place and when she sat me down to look me over I collapsed from exhaustion. She got me upstairs and discovered I was loaded with fleas.....those bloodsuckers were stealing all my precious blood! So to keep me from danger I got my first bath. Now that I am all grown up Judy told me that she did not think I would even make it through the night. Well anyway, I made it through the night and four more years after that! I must say, I am one of the happiest dogs on earth. I go to work everyday with my mom and have play dates with my two girlfriends four times a week. I am in training now to be a therapy dog and will soon be able to go to elder care centers and give joy to others. Those older women just love me... can you blame them? They tell me my eye patch is sexy... what do you think?
