Gone to the dogs


Laika ("I own everyone and everything in the house, the yard, the block, the whole neighbhood, possibly the whole city") - toy poodle, 6 pounds, neutered male, arrived Jan 17 1999 at 3 1/2 years old.  Inherited from my mother.

Angel ("Yes, I *am* the world's sweetest dog, and yes, I do have anti-gravity pods in my feet") - Chinese Crested powder puff, 14 pounds, spayed female, arrived  Feb 6 2004 at around 1 year old.  Adopted from Tiny Tails.

Angel is my agility dog:  here are photos of her coming out of the tunnel and leaping over a jump at a local fun match.

RIP Dolly ("I need to know everything that's going on so I can comment on it or complain about it") - chihuahua mix, 8 pounds, spayed female, arrived Jan 9 2001 at around 8 - 10 years old.  Adopted from C.A.R.E.

I am very sad to announce that Dolly suffered a suspected stroke on 09/26/2006, and showed no improvement after 24 hours in intensive care.   I held her as she went to the Rainbow Bridge at approx. 10:55 pm, 09/27/2006.

No, you're not seeing triple. At the vet - 3 identical chihuahua-like creatures, all there at the same time. From left to right: Dolly, Baxter, Lulu. Not related, as far as we know. Baxter is another client of  my vet's, and Lulu belongs to one of his vet techs.
