Susan,
I thought you would like to see some photos of Chicha I took this morning.
She has finished her first puppy kindergarten classes. It is very clear to me that it is me who need the classes more that her.
We’ve had the greatest time making her a part of our lives. Ricky and his mother took care of her while I was working on a landscape project in Greece for a month. When I came back she learned to whimper in the most pathetic way for attention. you would think she had her paw cut off or something. After the second time of reacting to it to see if it was something, I am reconditioning her to behave normally.
We live 1/2 block from Melrose Av. Chicha is very popular. All the shop owners know her name, not ours! There are a few Latin shop owners and they think it is so funny we call her Salchicha. A few weeks ago KJLA a local Spanish language TV station was interviewing the girls at the shop and they saw Chicha on a walk with Ricky and they wanted to introduce the dog to their viewers, so Chicha is a local celebrity.
Ricky is the prime walker so he comes back with all the stories, I think the walks are more for him personally but Chicha benefits. He tells me there is another mini-wire of yours in the next neighborhood, Hancock Park, but he didn’t get the name.
Hope you have a great 4th weekend and again Thank you!
Brad A. and Ricky R.
The dog attached to the feet and wearing the hair is called Chicha and is she is now owned & photographed by Brad Austin.
