Jill's Special Day

Today is Jill's 'Gottcha' day. Eight years ago, today, we answered an ad in the paper from an animal shelter for a puppy. A supposedly half chihuahua puppy. It's kind of a family joke about our Taco Bell dog. Okay, the people lied, but I fell in love with her there and told DH I wanted the pretty one and Jill came home with us that day.

She's as sweet as she looks. Oh, sure, her puppyhood was a real challenge, but that's just a distant memory. and she's making up for it now, in sweetness.

  2. Give her an extra hug from me. She proved that naughty pups grow up to be the best dogs.

  3. If puppies were not so dang cute no one would go through all it takes to keep them...actually not so different from our own babies.

  4. Oh what a sweetheart! No matter how old they get, dogs seem to retain their "puppy dog eyes", so full of love!
