Rico Sauve was rescued by yours truly after we developed an understanding at the Pet Store I visited often. I would toss him hair elastics on the sly and he would entertain me by skillfully tossing them in the air and catching them in his mouth. This went on for about a month by which time he had doubled in size and looked increasingly depressed upon each visit. So I took him home where he was introduced to my dog,kids and mirrors. He has been with us for 4 years. Hates the dog but loves his life.
