'Poncho is our 12 year old rescue dog from Riviera Maya Mexico. Finding her in a small crate along a dirt walkway while heading to the beach with my then young children has been quite a journey ever since. who would have thought that Christmas in Mexico in 2006 would bring Brent and his two young children to saving a puppy from definite starvation. The area they stayed in at the time was quite quiet and under construction. Ryan then 15 and his sister Jayla 11 had been outside playing when they walked down this very near dirt path that lead to the beach. Racing back to tell their dad what they had found was surely a very exciting part of their second day in Mexico, which was Christmas Day. After some checking into the rules for transporting strays back into Canada, Brent decided they would take Poncho home. Two weeks on vacation was a little different than planned but very rewarding as well. Back home in Canada, Poncho has been a good all around pup and family member. As many of us, as we age we take on some funny personality quirks. Poncho does have numerous quirky behaviours but one she struggles with, or should I say Brent struggles with is getting her to eat. Poncho is very fussy when it comes to dinner time. Something that Brent basically started a few years ago was giving her a special treat along with her dry kibble food. Thinking this was a nice thing to do for such a good pet, has turned Poncho into a very picky \"high maintenance\" pooch. High maintenance is a little bit of exaggeration but she is truly a fussy little girl as you will see. This daily ritual always makes Brent laugh he said. Seeing Poncho so excited over something so simple is a joy to watch.'See also:
