Adopted Malshi - Chevy Boy

Mama n Chevy gettin ready to sleep.
Chevy Boy was a Malshi dog who needed saving. I found him on CL and went to meet him and his owner. This poor baby was so adorable, and loving... but was INFESTED TERRIBLY with fleas, his ears stunk terrible from ear mites and his rear end needed major attention. The minute I saw him I knew I had to adopt this Malshi and give him a good loving home. And for God's sake clean him up and make him comfortable.
He is a Shih Tsu Maltese mix. Chevy got his name because when I brought him home we drove home in an old Chevy Caprice (my husband fixes up old box Chevy's as a hobby) and whenever we went outside he'd run right under the Chevy. So I said to him, "Are you a Chevy Boy too baby?" And bam, there it was...
He's very loving, loves to give kisses, and will do so on command when I say, "Give u mama kisses." He's working on beg and shake right now. He can be pretty stubborn when we practice tricks, so he thinks he can get away with givin mama kisses instead of doin the NEW trick.
Chevy loves Dingo bones, he tosses it in the air, sometimes across the room and he chases after it. Once he's done playing with it he goes and hides it in a "secret" spot. Usually right in plain sight, but he makes sure he "digs, and nudges" a nice lil secret spot no one else can see but him. :)
All in all Chevy is a great Malshi dog with a great future adorable as can be, all the love a girl could want and knowing a dog was helped out makes it all worth it.
