One Eye on Xander

Xander likes to get into mischief, so you'd better keep at least one eye on him.

Arrival Story:
We were sent an email by Phil's mom, Paula, who saw this little guy on the rescue website where she adopted her dog, Coco. She knew we were looking for a black, male pug to keep our pug, Willoughby, company while we are at work. His story was a sad one: he was found wandering the streets of Albuquerque, with his left eye popped out of his head. The kind woman who picked him up rushed him to the vet, but it was too late to save his eye. He was in pretty bad shape, but thanks to the Quixote Rescue Group, he came to us a happy and well-adjusted little boy. We were very lucky to get him. The rescue had never adopted out of their area before, and the fact that we're full-time RV'ers didn't help our case. But they listened to us about our situation and how we give Willoughby a great life and they visted Willoughby's website on Dogster, and decided we'd be a good family for Diablo (what they called Xander).

Bio:
We don't know how old Xander is. The best guess by the rescue is that he was around 9 months old when we took him home. Since we got him on August 9, 2006, we made that his birthday. From the start Xander was in love with Willough, although it took her awhile to warm up, but he still chases his cat siblings whenever he gets a chance.
