It is exhausting to take in a second dog but so rewarding.
Jose is a four year old whose parent passed away. He was
being fostered by a friend of mine who brought him by and
said, "Is this one cute enough for you?. He was. I
think he is a Silky/Chihuahua mix.
Rex has been wonderful to him and seems to be protective.
He comes and gets me when Jose needs attention. However,
he jumped in bed with me to check and see if Jose was in
there last night. Jose sleeps in his little bed under the bed which is perfect.
Food is a problem because they each want what the other has. Rex has never, ever eaten dry food until now while
Jose longs for Rex's canned food. Jose even wants to
drink from Rex's water bowl which is way too tall for him,
even though he has a more convenient one. I guess we will
eventually get this sorted out.
Jose's hyper behavior has calmed down. Everywhere I go, I am trailed by the two of them and it is extremely funny to see a huge Rex and a tiny Jose like ducklings. I guess you could say that It is the long and the short of
it.
