This
is Wile E. Coyote, supa genius, Wiley for short. Wiley was abandoned
outside a pet store. My partner found him at 6:00 in the morning, tied to a
lampost on the coldest day of the year. He took him inside the building and
the SPCA never came to pick him up. After three days he brought him home.
We were worried that our two chow chow mixes would not like him, but the
three bonded on the first day alone. One year to the day later, my partner
died in his sleep unexpectedly, so now it is just the four of us. Wiley has
to... and I mean has to cuddle.
I think his best trick is the one he taught himself, which is waking me on
the couch to make me go to bed so he can cuddle under the blanket. He tries
to rule the roost. Inside the house he defers to the oldest dog Chesty (the
multicolor) and outside he runs along side Chewie (the big red one). Part
of my joy is to watch him being so independent when he is very shy. He
barks at everybody at the dog park to stay away, and then jumps on my lap
and cuddles up. If he stands on his back legs and turns he looks just like
Wile E. Coyote, which is why we named him that!
