Senor Besito - Toaster's coated male (AKA "Smooch")
Sept. 2002
Hi Nancy,
I must tell you what has happened in my life since you brought Mr. Smooch into my house, home, and heart! He is such an answer to a prayer! For sometime, I had been housebound. Suddenly, I found myself lifeless, friendless, and missionless. I had no clue what to do. I could not work, go to any kind of college class, volunteer, or plan anything. Then I heard of your puppies, and my miracle was there waiting for me. I am so impressed, thankful and blessed. This really hit home for me when I first got Smooch. The first time I gave him the command, ”neck’ he ran into the living room and jumped on the sofa and was waiting for me to sit down so he could climb up my arm and around my neck. I was so very shocked and honestly, in awe of my little guy! I sat down and up he went around my neck, curled himself up correctly and gave me a “smooch” on my face! He is so happy to be of service, just as you described Toaster. I am no longer lifeless, friendless or missionless. Smooch has given me a new purpose, and helping you with X-CPR, I feel as if a very important change is about to occur in my life. Thank you for placing Smooch with me!

Update: 2007:
Hi again, I just had to share the entertainment Smooch is for us. You know I really love that little guy! He has grown to be a large miniature, and so now is way to heavy to go around my neck ...but my husband has tried him a few times and he just lays there like you taught him, and helps my husband. Now for me...NO WAY! I cannot balance him up there because of his 20+ pounds. But, I love to have him on my sides and to bring warmth on my hips, and this is just as helpful as on my neck.

Nancy,
Thank you so much for Chico! He has been sooo wonderful. My life has changed. I have done more in the last six weeks than I have done in 5 years!! I have been able to cut out almost all of my pain medications. I only have to take them when the weather is bad or if I overdo it. I’m really glad I saw your story on the “Animal Planet” channel and called you. Thank you for sharing your story and your source of help. I’m sure there are many who can benefit from it…Thanks again, Malissa H.
