Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?
Ralphie is a typical Yorkie as he is full of his own ideas and is always one step ahead of mine! He was adopted into a home with Paco, a 4 year old Pekingese, who was born with hip problems . Ralphie continually encouraged Paco to get up and go outside and exercise which helped Paco to move around better. Ralphie is happy to have company visit but he has a habit of encouraging them to leave when he thinks it's time to go home! One of his habits is to sit on the arm of the chair next to the phone and when it rings he throws back his head like a little coyote and howl! Of course the people on the other end wonder what in the world is going on. My home would be considerably quieter without this little guy so I hope he will be here for a number of years yet.
