Poncho

This is Poncho...he is about 3 years old.  He showed up at our house a few years ago, so scared & hungry. He ran when you looked at him and I was sure he was feral. He was so skinny and sickly. It was in the summer and we were cooking out a lot, so I'd cook some extra hot dogs and toss them to him. He thought he was hiding, but I could see him! He stayed in the garage next door where no one lived. Eventually he started to come out and wait for some hot dogs. And when he let me pet him, he never let up. LOL! He loves, loves, LOVES to be petted. He will stand on his head and turn a flip, then lie down in front of you to be petted. You cannot sit down without him jumping in your lap if he is anywhere nearby. He stands up with his paws on your legs to be petted. He is just a sweetheart. He does have some issues with allergies. He sneezes and gets a runny nose, but other than that he is good. He's kind of chubby looking in this photo, but he slimmed down again (guess he overdid it when he first got lots of good food!) and he stays pretty slim and muscular all the time.
