Papi is a 12-year-old Chihuahua in Aurora, CO, who needs $1,265 for Neuter for Possible Cancer.

I moved in with my new mom and her mom around March/April 2013. I lived with two other families before that. The two families, their daughters, were my new mom's friends. My mom moved out and her mom took over my care because I bonded with another dog they got on April 30/May 1. I was named Papi before I moved in 2013. My 4th momma had to move and moved into her parent's house.

I like to sleep in my "mancave", the open area next to the couch and behind the recliner. I will go for walks anywhere. I love it! I have treat tire toys and love to play hide and seek. I used to love to steal treats from my canine brothers (and maybe a family member or two, too!). Lol.

I had two canine brothers since moving with my mom. I didn't like one as he was a big dog, but my other brother was my best friend. We played around, ran zoomies, steal our treat tire toys back and forth. I don't care what weather it is, I'll go outside in it! I am Security Guard for mom. I let her know of any stranger danger around her. I know my mom is happy by the pets I get after I play.

This year, I lost my brother in July. My human uncle has been sick and then my mom's dad. I have had luxating patella surgery. I stopped eating altogether. I had a recheck on my heart, so far good. I went to the dentist and had a couple teeth pulled, too. I am still picky on foods and my mom has tried tons! I had an ultrasound and I might have cancer in my testes. Smoky Hill Hospital-Dr. Krzan
