Ricky, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ricky
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Long Haired Chihuahua
Home: Tampa, Florida, USA
 
   This is of Ricky, our long haired chihuahua. Ricky was a early mother's day gift from our youngest daughter. He is the sweetest little guy I have ever run across. He loves everyone which may not be the typical characteristic of a chihuahua but he doesn't know that. He goes to RV rallies with us every month and loves to travel in the motor home. He loves Flying J Truck stops because the truckers always come over to pet him etc. We live and work in Florida but this little guy has been to Las Vegas, Utah and Colorado twice and has even stayed at a Bison ranch in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Nothing bothers him. He is very loyal and never left my side while I was recuperating from knee replacement surgery. He was even allowed in my hospital room when the staff realized how well behaved and good he was not only for my recovery but for all the patients on the ward. His best friend was Lucy, a stray cat we have adopted. When she died, we had to get him a new sister to love, so now there is Lucy Tu!

    Ricky is our little sweetheart. He is the kind of dog they do TV shows about. He is very obedient and has a great personality. His favorite reward is to go to PetSmart so he can ride in the cart and have people come up to him and his little sister Lucy Tu (that's her in the smaller picture with him).
