al shelter and he was a matted mess. He looked like a mop with feet..... except that his fur was so long that you couldn't see his feet... Pepe had clearly been very neglected for a long time. That probably explains why he is who he is. Bottom line, Pepe is a grumpy old man. We don't really know how old he is. The vet estimates somewhere between 8-10 years old. Pepe is one of those dogs who has a very strong personality..... like most cairn terriers do. Pepe wants to do things his way. He is older, kind of grumpy, hard of hearing, does not see well and is somewhat arthritic (although that doesn't slow him down). What it does do is make him extremely crabby if anyone pushes or pulls him and he does not appreciate being picked up. Pepe likes attention and he likes to be pet.... when he feels like it. He will come snuggle on the couch when he is in the mood and when he is not, he likes to nap on a soft dog bed in the sun. He loves treats but because he doesn't see well he will catch the end of your finger when he is taking it unless you are fast. Pepe has been adopted and returned several times because when he is pushed, pulled or dragged he will bite. Pepe has learned that being snippy will get people to leave him alone and he uses that to his advantage. Pepe is a crotchety old man. He is very charming when he wants to be and would be a great companion for a person who does not get a lot of company, does not want a lot of exercise and will let him kind of do his own thing..... basically he is a cat.
