      Hello, my name is Paige.  I work in an animal shelter.  I came across the most adorable puppy ever.  His name is Sparky.  While I have been working with him, he has been doing very well in everything I do with him.  He is a very nice puppy and I love working with him.  He is loving, caring, and obedient.  You will love him.  He is only one month old and very precious. He is a nice little Chihuahua.  He has a caramel color to him.  You should come to the shelter and meet him.
