Proud pet parent of:

Buster, Odin, Tinka Belle, Ninja and Ippo

How we met:

Buster was a throw away at a store I worked next to. The owner of the store brought him in as a kitten and was just going to let him loose. He was so timid, you could tell he wasn't treated well. Soooo he came home with me!

Odin...one day as I was sweeping with the door open this weeee tiny orange thing came wandering in, walked across the room directly to the kitchen, ate Busters food, and never left!

Miss Tinka Belle was brought to me by a 9 year old neighbor who found her scared and near starved. She won my heart and never left!

Ninja is really a foster, till I find a loving forever home for him. He is a sweetheart, near dog like lol. His only difficulty is with nail trimming. Not sure if he had a bad experience or something but he gets crazed. We are working with him to get him used to it and he is making baby step strides.

Ippo, Ippo is the lone dog of the family. Ippo is a Chihuahua who hasn't had the greatest luck or love in the world. She was rescued by a military family from a shelter. Her previous owner, an alzheimer (early stages) patient, simply forgot the little one was in the kennel in a spare bedroom, for quite a long time. Apparently this poor woman also had few looking in on her too. When they found them, the woman had no clue who she was, had no groceries and hadn't eaten. Ippo, in her kennel filled with feces and urine, was near starved, nails grown to imbeding in her poor little paws and scared to death.

The military family brought her back to health and gave her as much attention as they could, but they had two other chihuahua's and they were the stars in that house. The family recieved orders to Italy and could only take two dogs, soooooooo Ippo needed a home. My hubby and I knew she was ours from the second we laid eyes on her, and she knew too. She is now perpetually on my lap and spoiled rotten lol.
