No story behind the name Wrigley (We don't love the gum! )
We thought he looked like a Riley and we liked the idea of both dogs having a name that begins with W and Wrigley just popped up. We live in WI are Brewer fans but live close to Il by Wrigley Stadium for the Cubs. I think that is why the name sounds familiar.

Sad story though, the dog is no longer with us. He attacked me one night. I was putting on his leash and he decided to bite my hand and then my foot. About an hour later he tried to do the same to my fiance. Like posted earlier, we have a 5.8 lb Maltese and could have really gotten hurt plus we have 8 nieces and nephrews that are always over. We gave the dog to a couple that lives on farm-type land where he is the only pet and will be able to run. It was a very sad weekend, but I think it worked out for the best. I couldn't take the chance that Wrigley would leave a scar on my other dog or family members like he did on me.
He was 10 months old and I'm not sure of his previous history.
We were heartbroken.

winstonsmama, I am so sorry to hear that pup did all that. He must have had a very rough puppyhood.

glad he is on a farm. are you able to visit him or check to see if he is getting better?

I believe you did the right thing. perhaps there's another pup that is more suitable for you, family, and malti down the road.

thanks for posting though.

Awww! That is so sad! I'm really sorry things didn't work out for you. At least you did the right thing, and found him a good home where he might have a chance to get better. Poor guy, he must have had it rough as a puppy.

Do you like KENT

That is sad. I hate it when dogs are like that. You so much want to help them, but you can't.
