Our New Puppy

We have a new puppy that we adopted in Ft. Collins - totally on a goof, we didn't plan it but he really is a cutie pie. His name is Poncho and he's half chihuahua and half dacshund - and ALL BOY! When we got him he was 3 months old and a total spaz on the leash (still has his spazzy moments) and not potty trained... But we're doing really good on that front.

Two weeks after getting him we were at a state park letting the dogs run and there was a large concrete "berm" type thing - not sure what it is but the girls had climbed up on it and it's about 20 feet tall. Well...little Poncho took off running up to the top of this berm and didn't realize there was a steep drop-off and went right over the edge! He cried soooo loud, it was horrible. We took him to the Doggy ER and he was x-rayed. No broken bones, thank goodness! So we're happy. He's limping and he did knock out one of his baby teeth, but he's alive and he's a survivor!
