Pet of the Week

Chico

Combine a pocket protector with a Chia Pet and whaddya get? A pocket pet! Chico is a 4-pound toy fox terrier who can fit in your pocket and protect you at the same time. With his adorable features and pointy ears, he's a real favorite with the ladies, but Chico likes kids too and after a while he gets used to men.

This 1-year-old neutered male is very protective and pound- for-pound he really packs a punch. However, he'll need to be kennel-trained or taught to use a litter box because he hasn't done too well with housetraining. Hey, it's no fun to go outside in the Alaska winter when you only have a couple pounds of body fat! So buy some cute little doggie sweaters and open up your pocket for Chico, the amazing pocket pet!
