On April 1 we'll be celebrating our sweet girl's 12th birthday. She was in a shelter until 1-1/2 years old then we found her for our son's birthday gift. She has been giving us her gift of joy each day. She's an energetic, protective, loving part of our family who loves food, her walks and taking rides in Daddy's old beetle (but she thinks it's her car!). Life would be so dull & quiet without her. She's such a sweel girl.
