Rescue Dogs for Adoption

Hello. My name is Tam. I live in Orange County, and I rescue dogs. This is my blog on my rescue dogs. They are looking for new homes. If you know anybody who is looking for a dog, please let them know about my blog. You can e-mail my posts to your friends by clicking an e-mail icon below each post. Please spread the word about rescued animals. Pets are always available for adoption at local animal shelters, too. Please always think about adopting first when you look for a pet.

Something's bothering Jack!

I go on a long walk witn my dogs everyday.

Yes, I know,  I haven't cleaned your eyes yet. Sorry, Sorry.

I wasn't sure how much a Chihuahua could walk.
Guessing from the fragile look, not that much...?
NO! I was wrong!
Jack can keep up no matter how long or how much we walk...an hour...two...
I don't last more than two hours so we never tired longer than that, but he has never shown signs that he is tired or wants to go home. Great!
When he first came to us, he was so thin and light. Now because of the daily walk for the past 2 months, he has built muscles and looks much muscular, and is much heavier!

But today during the walk, he must have stepped on something. He started sitting down and licking his foot frantically.
I checked his toes. Nothing I could see.
Something tiny, must have been irritating his foot. He kept licking his toes.
I felt sorry but at the same time knew it would go away soon, so kept walking. Jack didn't want to be left behind so tried hard to keep up with us. He didn't want to use his rear left leg so he walked with one of his leg lifted.
What a macho guy! I was so proud of Jack the macho Chihuahua!

By the end of the walk he was fine just as I thought.

I want to show you how cute he acts when he waits for dinner so next time I will try to record it.

For today, here is our Jack licking his foot like crazy....
Poor Jack but still never stops making me smile even when he is confused.



 
Look how he runs strong with three legs!

Please e-mail me if you are interested in meeting Jack the mucho-macho Chihuahua.
