This time, www.petfinder.com
is not to blame for the final addition to my family. I received an
e-mail from Diana’s Grove Rescue because this is the organization that I
adopted a dog (Tito) for my
mom. When I opened the e-mail, I saw a color flier for their upcoming
adoption event.
On
the front of the flier was the craziest looking dog that I had ever
seen! Peppe, the Chinese Crested. He looked nothing like the crested
featured in the movie “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” This dog had not
fur on his tail and was
spotted!
It
was insta-love! Even my husband was a bit excited. This was definitely
different from our mostly Chihuahua filled household. Upon meeting
Peppe, he gave Matt a big kiss on the chin. He was hooked.
Peppe
was actually used for breeder. His owner suddenly passed away, leaving
him homeless. The organization called him “the Velcro dog.” I soon
found out why. Peppe wants to be everywhere that you are. He wants
attention 24/7 and he
will not be ignored! But, he is a super cutie pie (except at dinner
time). I have to say that I have never seen a dog eat as fast as he
does.
My
vet was quite surprised to see him. She told me that Chinese Cresteds
are not popular in this region. I suppose this would have to do with
the skin care that needs to be provided. Peppe must be bathed once a
week to replenish his
natural skin oils. He also needs to have coconut oil slathered on once
a day to help keep his skin hydrated. He doesn’t mind. Peppe loves to
lick himself after being oiled.
