Sparkles!

We did it! We finally got a puppy!

Well, she's not exactly a puppy but she's still our baby. She's about 10 months old now (we got her a month ago) and fully grown. She's a poodle/shitzu mix, so she's non-shedding and hypoallergenic. I have yet to find any black hair anywhere around our house on on our clothes. She's the sweetest little cuddle bug. She loves our whole family (well, she loves me best... but she does love everyone else too) so much. The kids love on her, lay on her, tug on her ears, poke her in the face, kiss her, and teaser her and she loves every second of our chaos. Even Zane, who has always been pretty leery around dogs fell in love with her from the second he saw her. 

Our sweet Sparkles is a rescue who originally came from a neglectful home. I was told that she was covered in fleas and ticks and had very little space to move around and play. She was "rescued" by a neighbor who was elderly and terminally ill, and really couldn't care for her. A local rescue organization took over from there. They got her medical issues taken care of and fostered her until we found her. We have been looking for a while for the perfect dog for our family, and we really couldn't have asked for a better one. She came house-trained, crate-trained, she rarely barks, and she is absolutely perfect for us. 

 Seriously. How can you resist this face?
