Felix the Dog

My husband Gary receives information often from the Grand Prairie (TX) Animal Shelter about new animals available. As soon as he was informed about "Felix", a 12-year-old intact male chihuahua, he called me and said that he would like to bring him home. With open, infected gums, one tooth (thus tongue hangs out), half an ear missing, major arthritis pain, and evidence of his jaws previously broken in 4 places, he was the cutest boy ever. We had his gums fixed and got medication for his gimpiness. Even so, we were not sure he would make it 6 months; 4 years later he is the light of our lives. He has a brother and two sisters (chihuahua or mixes) who watch out for him. He may out live us all !
