Likes: He loves attention!
Pet-Peeves: Leon doesn't like the wind...I think it's the ears....
Favorite Toy: He loves this unstuffed animal that looks like a squirrel...
Favorite Food: He will do anything for a Yummy Chummy...even get into his bed!
Favorite Walk: He loves to walk around Centerra (an outdoor mall), because everyone wants to say hello to him.
Best Tricks: He plays fetch and he can dance on his hind legs. He can also roll over and he can play dead...although he cheats on that one sometimes. He's learned to jump through a hoop for one of his therarpy gig children and he'll even jump over a Lab...
Arrival Story: Leon was brought to me from Mexico by my loving husband who insisted I should get a Boxer puppy instead. After making my argument, he agreed to bring my 1 pound baby home. My husband (who hunts with our two 75 and 95 pound Labradors) thought that he could just put little Leon under the plane, but they wouldn't let him because of his size and he ended up buying a plane ticket for him.
Then he discovered that the kennel he bought (thinking I would say yes to the Boxer puppy) was too big to put under the seat, so he had to use my father-in-law's little cooler that is used to carry his insulin.
$150 dollar plane ticket and a new cooler for my father-in-law was all that was needed to bring my little baby home.
Bio: Leon is a little over 5 pounds (depending upon if he's eaten).
He is black and tan and is always assumed to be a Min Pin...but believe me...he's ALL chihuahua and a DNA test confirmed a touch of Poodle!
He goes to doggy daycare once a week and is watched by many on the doggy cam.
He was so close to competing in flyball that champions were starting to get worried he would take their titles, until his bad knees forced him into early retirement.
He's a wonderful therapy dog and seems to have an affinity for the little ones...he helps grieving children learn how to move through the grieving process and he reminds teenagers in a behavioral health facility of home. He's one of a kind.

Rescue a Chihuahua!: http://www.chihuahua-smalldogrescue.org/
So, mommie and I went to our weekly anger management therapy gig last night... the little girl we work with is trying to teach me a new trick and sometimes I just didn't listen to her....mommie was getting mad with me until the counselor mentioned the little girl needed to learn to use her voice....Chi's always know best....mommie still hasn't learned...
Just finished a therapy gig with children in an anger management group....the kids are going to "teach" this Chi some tricks over the next couple of weeks and then show off "their" skills to their parents....little do they know that I only pretend to be a slow learner...get's me more treats that way....
