Back on February 14th a friend of ours sent us a picture of a Chihuahua 7 week old puppy. It was a dreary day and I inquired. Long story short of that I didn't get the puppy. I then did a search on Petfinder.com for a young, small, and male dog. Little Heart Thumper showed up. I read his story and then Steve read his story and saw his pictures. I then completed the application and then waited. Steve and I did a lot of talking since we already had 3 dogs and 3 cats. We so wanted a play mate for our Mondale. Well Heart Thumper came over with Rene for a Home Check and that Saturday we were blessed with Heart Thumper who we now call Cody. The first few days were a bit rough. Mondale and Ginger we're being very mean to Cody and we didn't like that at all. I took Cody to our vet the Tuesday after we got him. Out vet gave him a clean bill of health and said he was anxious to see Cody's progress with regards to his back legs. Dr. Bracken did not charge us for the visit and asked if I would bring Cody back every two months so he could monitor his progress, at no charge. When Cody and I got back from the appointment we all sat on the couch. Steve, myself, Ginger, Mondale, Cody, and Roy. I said LISTEN UP, Cody is a part of this family and you all better make him feel at home! Since that moment everything has been fabulous. Mondale and Cody play A LOT. We go to the Dog Park and Cody loves it and everyone loves Cody. His little knees are bending a little and with each day of exercise, playing, and physical therapy Cody's back legs are getting better. We all LOVE him and he is a part of our wonderful family.
