Dog Days

     I got a little dog last Friday from a lady on Criag's list. He is a chihuahua with a chocolate colored coat with some cream color outline. I named him Pinto Bean. Pinto will be two years old in March and he may weigh 8 pounds soaking wet with rocks in his pockets.
     Pinto is the sweetest dog once he gets to know you. It took him two days to finally trust me and now we are friends. He likes to ride in the car. I've taken him everywhere with me for instance, to two different friends of mine homes where he has played with their dogs. Pinto loves on me a lot and show his appreciation towards me for taking care of him.
     Last night he started coughing and I thought maybe he just had something on his throat because he had just ate some dog food off the floor. He sleeps with me too, but didn't cough any while we were sleeping. This morning however, he started coughing again with intensity and it worried me. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased him some children's allergy medicine in hopes that would help him stop coughing. It takes about thirty minutes to work but I had to go to school.
     Once I left and got to school, my roommate text me. She told me how Pinto was crying, urinated on the couch and tore up the window blind once I left this morning. I have to get him a crate because he is suffering from some emotional stress when I leave him alone. I believe that someone has hurt him in the past; he likes the way that I rub on him and take care of him. He is possibly scared that I will leave him and never come back. We will work this out because I love him and he is my best-friend.
