This is Baxter. He is a toy Chihuahua (but in his eyes he is a big ferocious Pit Bull :-) I responded to an ad in the newspaper and went to go see the puppies. When I got there I could hear him in the other room whimpering so I asked if I could see him. The lady said no for he had an eye infection but I talked her into it. When she brought him out I barely had the strength to not break down and cry for one of his eyes was about 4 times bigger than the other, he was covered in feces and urine, his nails were all chalky white and he was in obvious poor health. But regardless of his situation he was just so happy to have someone hold and love him. He was full of kisses and lots of tail wagging!
I knew right then that there was no way I would leave without him so I purchased him and brought him home. The next day I took him to an Animal Eye Doctor and he immediately removed his eye. He said that if I hadn't of brought him in that day that his eye would of erupted and it would of killed him. I believe it was fate 7 years ago that made me drive from Colorado to Nebraska to see the puppies.
Baxter loves to cuddle and be as close to me as he can. He brings a smile and a tug at my heart every day that I am blessed to go home to him. There is nothing more unconditional than the love you receive from your animals.
