    Little dog? Don't know if I could do a little dog. Ya'll know that I now have a dog, right? Yep, adopted a giant pup. She was an owner surrender. Her owners were moving south to Louisiana and said it was too hot for her there. Sooo....we went and got her. They named her Tinkerbelle, but I changed it to Belle. There's nothing tinker about her.
    I'll post a pic of her later.
    Ya'll will just have to figure out what kind of giant pup she is

    I love milk chocolate and have a cat that thinks she's a dog. Dear Jane is too small for me to work with.

    Ok, here's Giant Pup.
    She's my belly Belle.
    She's really quite gentle once she warms up to you and there's not alot of slobber.

    I believe it takes a special kind of person to love a "pup" like that!
