She's still an utter affection hog. The rescue people told us that her mother was a mini schnauzer and they thought her father was a yorkie. The dogs were all split up when the Humane Society did their raid and dispersed to whatever shelters could take them in. I keep her fur trimmed short because it grows out so patchy that she looks like a wildebeast if when it starts to get long.
Thanks Brenda - your Miss Daisy caught my heart right away too.
Brenda and Nancia you are both too goofy squabbling over Krystyna's quilt, when she told you all along she is going to keep it. 
This heat IS deadly... I keep wondering how the wild creatures are coping in it. Make sure your husband takes extra precautions Krystyna - that is pretty scary how he was yesterday. At the very least a case of heat exhaustion! My DD had a job in research and just read a study that the very best drink to have when you have been working hard in the heat is NOT Gatorade, but cold chocolate milk.
Chocolate milk? I'm not telling him that. We're both on diets. However, I might tell my son since he works in a hot kitchen and can stand to gain a pound.
Love the story about Pip. She so adorable! Hmmmm. Someone should organize a puppy quilt swap! (Not me!)
