Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ORIGINAL BIO 3/11/2009: Hiya - my name is Wrigley; I'm the newest yorkie boy here in Florida. The shelter guess-timated me at 8 y/o, and I'm a chubby 8.7#, but FM says I'm gonna go on a strict diet because I'm a little too round in the belly region! (the nerve!?) I was found wandering the streets all by my lonesome playing chicken with the cars. Some nice people picked me up and brought me to the shelter where I waited for my family to come get me. When nobody came to claim me as their very own long lost boy, I had almost given up hope. Then my FM came to get me! Yippers!!!! Boy, was I a happy little boy to be sprung outta that noisy and scary place. When the cage opened, I jumped into her arms like a froggy. When I first arrived at the shelter, I even tried to nip at one of the workers who came to give me shots. So, for now, I'm meant to live with big people only (none of those quick little people who run around and yell a lot... I think they're called "kids.") FM is going to continue to evaluate me; she thinks I'm very friendly, but scared from being in the shelter and that maybe I'm not used to being picked up and loved on too much. I showed her how sweet I am by giving her lots and lots of kisses on the car ride home (even though my breath is kinda stinky.... I need to get my toofers cleaned soon).
Wrigley's FM here:
It seems Wrigley may be housetrained - no accidents yet, and he seems like he knows where to do his "business." He also walks very well on a leash, and gets along just fine with other dogs. Right now, Wrigley doesn't like being picked up. If approached slowly, he does let you pick him up, and we will be working with him on this to show him that we love him and would never hurt him. Stay tuned for updates as we get to know him better.
