Jack Russel Terrier puppies over white background

This story started on Sunday morning, on June 16, 2019. I was thinking of getting a pet. I was thinking of buying it from a pet store or to adopt a little dog from a vet. I looked on the internet and I had many options to get one. After some time, I found an advertisement about a sale of a Shih Tzu. I phoned the guy who was the owner and I asked some questions about the puppies and that type of breed. I researched some information on the internet about all the characteristics of that breed. I learned many things about it. I brought my whole family with me to see the little puppies. When we got there, the guy told me: “Oh, it's the last puppy, I sold the other ones”. I didn’t have an opportunity to see more dogs, but I think he was my destiny.

The truth is, when I saw the puppy, I fell in love. He was staring at me. After that, he started following me on the street. Then, when I saw his eyes, I told my mom “I want this little puppy”. I didn’t choose him, he chose me. Some minutes later, I came back to my house with my family and the little puppy. He was born on May 3, 2019. On June 16, 2019, I started my pet family with Rufito in Mexico.

In January, 2020, my partner and I decided to start a new life in Canada together. On January 31, 2021 we made the big journey from Mexico to Canada by car. Rufito came to Canada with us. He really enjoys having trips by car. He is friendly and cute.

Since February 2020, we have been living in Fort Good Hope, NT. The first time when we were outside with Rufito for a walk, I worried because he is from a warm country. I noticed after going out that Rufito loves the weather here. In winter time, he really likes to eat and to play with the snow.

Last year in July 2020, Rufito met with a little dog, her name is Lulu. She got pregnant. Two months later, Lulu gave birth to 4 puppies. Her owner gave us the option to take up a puppy. I chose a beautiful brown puppy. I called her Mokita.

We have had Mokita since September 2020. Since that day, my pet family has been Rufito and Mokita. I have never had two dogs at the same time, it’s the best thing that has happened to me, ever. I love my little puppies so much.They complete my life. Mokita likes to play a lot with her dad. They enjoy going for walks and playing together outside. They are curious, when someone is outside of my house, they are looking out of the window. They are good guardians.
