How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?

I'd like to introduce you to my canine companion, Papi Chulo.  On Friday the 19th of February I adopted this cute little doggie.  His foster mom was given Papi by his former owner who could not keep him; apparently he spent a year in a garage.  He is a year and 8 months old and quite energetic.  He has a loving personality and friendly with everyone, children included.  He has a healthy bark and is proving to be an excellent watchdog.
His breed- Labradoodle.
Over the years, since age 10, I've had dogs, cats, and even a chicken and rooster.  The first was Cisco, a chihuahua/terrier mix.    We also had an orange tabby, Cornelius, who was poisoned by a neighbor.  Hippie neighbors moved and left a small rooster, Leibowitz.  We got a chicken, Penelope.  Of course, they both ended up as the soup of the day whilst I was at school.
When Cisco died,  we got a German Shepherd/Labrador mix, Rosco St. James III.  He was the ultimate watch dog and had to be put to sleep because he became very ill.  The last dog we had was little Bart, a beagle/spaniel mix.  His lived wiht the Daughters of Charity in Carson City, Nevada and was about 14 years old.   His vet refused to euthanize him- he was going blind; had arthritis; heart problems and was carrying a benign tumor the size of a tennis ball.  I was told not to get attached as he might live just two months.  The little one lived with us for a year and a half!
Then, my aunt and mom had their medical problems so there was no way we could keep a pet.
Now that I live alone, I am glad to have a little companion to keep me company and to get me back on my walking regimen.  In fact, over the weekend even my time on the computer has been shortened due to playing ball, belly rubs and walks.  I am planning to take him to Cathedral City during Easter break.
He's a gentle little angel and I hope to provide him with a loving forever home.  Welcome Papi Chulo!
