First off he wouldn’t respond to the name ‘Pokey.’ Didn’t matter what you did or treat you tried. But in talking about him, his qualities and his past, we happened to mention the name Azariah (ah-zah-ree-ah) and his ears moved around and he came to us.  I asked him, “Is that your name? Do you want to be called that?” and he gave me a little nudge with his nose. So there we have it. 🙂 We call him Azi or Zarie for short.

Secondly, he’s very happy. Since the first day he’s been making bonds with the pups. I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. One of the Shih Tzu, Micha, and he already touched noses and he let Micha give him a huge kiss. He’s very sweet and smart, and uses his litter box well trying to keep everything tidy. He even did a little redecorating yesterday. Thank you for taking care of Azariah, we’re happy to have brought him to his home.

Best Regards.
