“Eddie The Terrible”, 2, a Chihuahua from the Silicon Valley Humane Society has defied all odds with the same zest he usually reserves for defying all rules. The California native recently turned the tables on his unusually low odds of adoption with the help of a little radical honesty.
Last week, his human cohorts at the Humane Society released a hilarious blog post detailing all the reasons NOT to adopt Eddie. The tactic worked brilliantly, as a retired couple quickly stepped forward to declare themselves unable to resist the lively low-rider's charms.
Though Mr. Terrible was not available for comment, a representative from his organization released a statement declaring, “We are really thrilled to have found a home for him.”
Upon his arrival at the California shelter, Eddie promptly proceeded to leave its staff with no illusions of his need to be bad.
Originally named “Teddy,” the rambunctious pup indicated his interest in the far manlier moniker, “Eddie the Terrible.” The shelter staff eventually consented to the name change, as much in an attempt to avoid misleading potential adopters as to quell the little man’s ego.
While on the search for an adopter brave enough to tango with Mr. Terrible, the organization warned, “Yes, he is a great listener. But inside that innocuous adorable blonde package exists tons — indeed, whole square miles — of naughty.”
Eddie's questionable leash etiquette was among the first issued addressed in his recent tell-all biography. The organization began by stressing that Eddie is indeed capable of remaining an absolutely lamb during his walks - but only if the streets remain respectfully abandoned. Should another dog dare make an appearance, however, Mr. Terrible stoutly reserves the right to demonstrate his best Cujo impression.
The organization then tactfully addressed Eddie's social skills. “In a home environment, Eddie is lovely. He’s housebroken, loyal, fun, and friendly. He lives to play fetch. But socially? He stinks,” sources close to Eddie revealed. The shelter explained that while Eddie has yet to bite, he has yet to provide assurance that he's rule the option out completely.
Last but not least on the list was Eddie’s unconventional mastery of crate training. The terrible little chihuahua's reps explained that while Eddie does understand commands to go to his crate, his odds of compliance are remarkably slim.
When confronted with the prospect of confinement, Eddie oft prefers to serve up reminders of his top-notch talent for cuddling and curling up next to those he loves. The shelter warned that any attempt to confine Eddie alone in his crate may result in him singing the song of his people for as long as it takes to secure an early release.
Despite Eddie the Terrible Chihuahua’s quirks, his story is one with a happy ending. Eddie is currently preparing to leave his shelter days behind and grace a new forever home with his delightfully dubious presence. It seems the little lap lover has proven once and for all that there really is someone out there for everyone. Even the terrible.
