Quote From: tapestry6oTurns out Chico's real name is Pepe! I like that for several reasons.
His owners finally contacted animal control and tonight the little boy is back home with his real family.
The wife picked him up and she is very nice. Being me, I'd told her husband on the phone that they should neuter him, because he was likely to get cancer if they didn't. (He is unsuitable for breeding because his front legs are a mess. He's bow-legged and splay-footed.) I also warned them about the coyotes and told them that if he escaped again I was going to keep him.
She gave me a very generous reward and is going to board him with me whenever they travel. I'm really going to miss Pepe but am glad I'll probably see him again. Oh, and she swears that she'll get him neutered soon. She'd even had someone else recommend the vet I like best.
It's a good ending to Pepe's adventure. Misty and Queenie and relieved that the persistent pest is gone but I'm going to miss him. If he does come back neutered, they'll be less leery of him.
All I can say is that it's a good thing the little guy was only there for a few days. Otherwise, they'd have to wrestle him out of your arms! You old softy. Glad that his owners showed up. Even more glad that you liked them!
Have been hearing on the news the last couple of days about all of the fires in Texas and the lack of rain. Hope you're safe and well.
