 Chachi
is a tiny chihuahua who weighs around 5 pounds.
A man saw him get thrown out of a moving truck near the town of Astor. The
man took Chachi home, but he had no money for veterinary care.
Chachi was bruised and cut up, and there was blood in his urine.
Florence agreed to take him in at Journey's End, and he immediately was
taken to a vet. The vet found that he had a broken pelvis, which caused
the bloody urine. Luckily he didn't need surgery, and the injury healed
well on its own. He was also unneutered, but we had to wait
until the bone fracture healed before he could be neutered. He is estimated
to be around 4 years old.
Chachi is sweet and friendly, and is usually a blur of motion. He lives in the livingroom with
Louie, Penny, and
Ditto. He has
bonded with Louie and wrestles with him constantly, very much like Louie
played with Troubles when Louie first
arrived. They get especially playful when Florence or other people they
know walk in the room, as if they are trying to show who is top dog.
Chachi tells his story in our
November,
2011 newsletter.
