Meet Zena!



2020 has been a truly devastating year ... for so many and for so many reasons ... my heart decided it needed some joy ... and I have to say that I am feeling better today ... I brought home two pounds of love and fluff

and should weigh around 25 pounds as an adult ...

I have been working with her breeder since August ... waited for her birth (she was the smallest of 9 puppies) and then, the breeder almost decided to keep her (she shows her dogs), so was almost back to square one ...

Back in the 80s, I did the dog show thing ... maybe Zena will inspire me to do it once again

to do at a time when we are surrounded by such negativity. You did a good deed by rescuing Zena and making sure she had a safe, loving "forever home." I also smile to think of how richly you will be rewarded for that good deed in the years to come by the joy that Zena is sure to bring. What an adorable little bundle of fuzzy love she is! 😊 Happy days ahead to you and to everyone, to all creatures great and small!

My son and daughter-in-law got a Yorkie pup, Daisy. I puppy sit until she is older and house broke. The bonus is getting out of my apartment and playing, cuddling and enjoying Daisy.
