Tess can "high-five", shake (and knows the difference between left and right), and other doggie things. She also can get the beagle to shut up.

Arrival Story:
A person I worked with, had a female pit/labX that had given birth that morning to 8 puppies, and she was showing a couple of pics. I saw a picture of a tiny little pig face and fell in love. Went 2 days later to meet the mom-dog (who was a sweetie) and the pups. I visited every week until I could take this baby home at almost 9 weeks. Unfortunately, the other litter-mates weren't as fortunate. They gave them away to anyone, just to get rid of them, or they were going to the pound. The last I heard, the other 2 female pups had been bred when they had their first heat :( Tessa was spayed at 6 months old.

Bio:
My sweet Tessa is a WONDERFUL companion. She is extremely female aggressive, ("turned on" at 9 mos), but LOVES boy ones :) Needless to say, we don't "do" dog parks, or even Petsmart anymore because of this. I will not set her up to fail... She LOVES cats, however, and more often than not, can be found curled up in bed with a few, (I do cat rescue here and have a herd). She's also an awesome frisbee dog. I have seen her jump 6' in the air to catch one. She also LOVES going for rides in the car, and her favorite destination is gramma's house :) My parents spoil her rotten. Tessa is a GREAT dog, and I am honored to have her in my life

Forums Motto:
just shuddup and throw the frisbee!!!!!
