Dog For A Day Update~~Allison and I met with Lucky (The Chihuahua) on Sunday(2/27 ) for PRBJDog4aDay.  We brought Lucky to Gemini Springs in Debary(FL) for a long walk and a visit to the dog park.  Lucky did great, he pulled a little on his leash but that was easily remedied by putting him into a harness .  My Chihuahua Buddy (aka Taquito - was adopted from PRBJ) got a little upset when Lucky was running with a dog toy and attempted to challenge him but Lucky shrugged it off and never became aggressive or acted out towards him.  Lucky did very well with my Chinese Crested Powder Puff (Kip) too.  From appearance, I would guess that Lucky is part Chihuahua and part Basset Hound.  When it came to feeding Lucky with my dogs, he did extremely well and didn't show any food aggression.  Lucky listened to commands well and loved playing with dog toys.  At the end of the day it was so difficult to say goodbye to Lucky, I spent a few more minutes with him, gave him a big hug and a dog toy.  Lucky is a great dog and I know he will find his forever home soon. Lucky is active and will do well in a home with a person or persons that can walk him and play with him on a regular basis.  If he isn't adopted soon, I look forward to visiting Lucky again and bringing him some toys and treats too :)  This was a great experience, Lucky is a great dog and would make a great new family member.
 Lucky is a super sweet guy who was unfortunately owner surrendered due to their children's severe allergies. Lucky likes to go on walks and needs some guidance on leash, as he tends to pull.  He does not like cats.  He is looking for his forever home. 
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, nonetheless it seems to have been introduced by the Chinese. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua where he was brought to the rest of the world by travelers. This breed is believed to have been sacred to the Pre-Columbian Indian nations. The Chihuahua is a popular, economical companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, it gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, it moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. Chihuahua's are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. They like to lick their owner's faces. It is undeniably suspicious of people except for its owner. When strangers are present, it follows its owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. This breed may snap at teasing children, after all it is too tiny to get away. The Chihuahua must resort to his sharp teeth in self defense. It is not recommended for children. He can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Many owners simply paper train this breed. The Chihuahua hates the cold and may shiver, although this may be due to high metabolism as much as temperature or anxiety. It will tolerate and even appreciate a warm sweater on cooler days. They are good little dogs for apartment life. Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, they will keep fitter if taken for walks. A body harness is safer than a collar. Don't think that just because he is small he should be confined to a small space. Chihuahuas have a life expectancy of 15 or more years.
