Assam's Story

Back in December of 2016 my partner and I adopted a Chihuahua mix named Assam.  Since we brought him home on December 14th, he has been nothing but a bundle of joy!  We were so excited to expand our family and bring a puppy in need into our home.  We did change is name from Assam to Aion Maddox Rogue.  We have a cat named Athena and a propensity for naming our pet children after Greek Gods.  Aion is the Greek god of eternal time,and who couldn't use a little more time in their life?

Aion has been a very healthy and happy puppy and does not seem to have any major health concerns according to his veterinarian.  Having come from an animal hoarding situation he has adjusted well to his new home and has grown out of his separation anxiety issues. He has gone through training classes and has done well with his first round of puppy training.  He will be taking more classes in the coming weeks. 

He and Athena are learning to live with each other and are getting to understand the joys of having a playmate.  They still are supervised during play times, but are spending more time together and actually playing like family members.  He has his favorite toy, an unstuffed plush fox, that he even shares with Athena during play times.  Aion is still trying to figure out why she won't play tug of war with him, but someday he'll figure it out.

Aion is a very patient puppy and tolerates wearing shoes and clothes.  My partner and I have gotten him a number of outfits and sweaters along with a great winter coat.  He seems to prefer wearing his sweater around the house on weekends and really likes his scarf.  He is becoming a bit of a fashionista and is quickly building an extensive wardrobe of clothes and costumes.
