Flashback Fridays: Little Widge, Big Widge

  (2006)  

----

We got Widget in 2006 from a lady on Craigslist. She was the breeder and he was given back to her after three months from his first owners because they had a Yorkie and the Yorkie didn't like him. 

After spending a short amount of time with Widgey, it was obvious that he had been beat by his previous owners. He was flinchy, terrified of the garage, anyone who was African American and all children. Sure enough, after emailing the breeder, we discovered that his original family fit all of the above.*

Our Widgey still has some issues and my In-Laws have been doing an amazing job training him (and his brother Fonzie!) and loving him and showing him that the world is an ok place. He was unsure of Roman at first, but after a few visits I guess his smell intertwined with ours and Widge has now become his big brother. I can't wait to see the adventures they have together!

Ugh, I hate when people beat their animals - who on earth could do such a thing? He's such a cutie though, love the name :)

Thank God that they are now in good hands. Animal cruelty is a no no, they should be punished.
