Arrival Story:
I've had Phoebe since she was 9wks/15lbs old...she came home to me with her ears taped to a styrofoam cup (stiches just taken out) and we called her The Grand Poobah. She suffered in Houston with me for a year before moving back home. Once we bought our own house and installed a doggie door, Phoebe wanted a playmate. Leyna was a gift from Phoebe's breeder. She's Phoebe's polar oposite, but they compliment each other perfectly and and are always joined at the hip! Ley's been a part of my family since she was a yr old and she's actually Phoebe's niece. She was born 11/6/99 - same day and month as my mom. :D

Bio:
I would be lost in life without my girls, who are my friends, family and soulmates rolled into one.
