Rico Suave

He was a funny yet strong personality. A pure joy to be around. Protective of his sister a sickly Shih Tsu and his human mom yet considerate and caring. Every morning after his breakfast he would come to thank me with a kiss and snuggle for his food. He was loved by everyone who encountered him. He even modeled and has his own instagram account with followers. Rico Suave was a perfect name for this lover not a fighter. My classy and goofball pup that was filled with love and joy. |

Because we got him in MontaZooma so we named him Monty. |
