Quick Bio:
Likes:
Daddy! Daddy Daddy Daddy! He used to be a Mama's boy until this big hulking guy walked into our lives. Benito bit him. Then fell in love with him.
Pet-Peeves:
Dogs. He hates dogs. I'm not sure he knows he is one.
Favorite Toy:
Mostly his sister Paloma. He doesn't quite 'get' the concept of toys, per se.
Favorite Food:
Ice Cream (any flavor). Chicharonnes. Salami. Beef jerky.
Favorite Walk:
To the beach with Daddy. Especially since he's such a chick magnet. Meaning Benito. And Daddy. Both, really.
Best Tricks:
Sounding like a ferocious Doberman.
Arrival Story:
Another passenger on the Chihuahua Underground Railroad, Benito Gustavo Juarez was born in Silverlake, LA, on 7/24/2002, as the runt of the litter, and was adopted shortly thereafter. Sadly, his new owner was not able to give Benito the royal life he deserved and he was often left alone and without proper medical care. Finally he was given back to Benito's uncles, who knew Mom (who had adopted a homeless Chihuahua from them two years earlier) was just the person to call.
As it happened, Mom had been thinking about a new addition to the family, and so when Tio Joe wrote to say, 'We're taking care of this 2 1/2 lb. Chi and he REALLY needs a home,' Mom was like, 'DAAAANG, that's a small dog!' and she wasn't crazy about the idea of such a tiny beast. However, after 24 hours (same time it took to decide on taking Paloma), Mom, being the total sucker that she is, decided to take the gamble. As it turned out, a friend of a friend was driving to LA to get some stuff out of storage and volunteered to ferry up the little thing.
Benito made the journey and arrived, extremely thin (looking like one of those emaciated cows in India) but full of gusto and spunk, on Sunday, September 19th, 2004, at 7pm. 36 hours later, Mom got an email that Benito's previous owner had tried to get him back, so he escaped LA in the nick of time and now he's a Fog Dawg!
Bio:
After $600 worth of surgery (thank you, Auntie Erin!), a pound and a half of weight gain (now 4lbs after a big meal), and a LOT of love, Benito is a very handsome, devilishly sweet little man who has enough personality for a dog twenty times his size. He has a very thin, velvety coat with a stripe down his back, so when Mom really want to mess with someone, she'll them "it's a new breed - the Miniature Mexican Ridgeback," cause she's a prankster like that.
He is quite the macho little man and struts down the beach, chest puffed out, like he owns the joint, all "Bring It!" He has questionable social skills and often shames Mommy and Daddy with his high-volume hell-raising outside the house, but inside, won't even utter a peep if he gets locked out or - oops - left up on the bed. O, the irony.
He is a very loving, brave, spirited little dog who survived against rotten odds and now lives a luxurious life befitting the tiny King that he is!
