 Quick Bio:
 Birthday: April 1st 1994
 Likes: I love to sit on the driveway and watch as people walk past. I also LOVE to play games by charging the end of the driveway barking my merry head off when people walk their dogs past. It's fun! I also love to curl up with my Mummy on her bed at night.

Pet-Peeves: When my buddy Clyde would jump on me when he was excited about eating, going for walks, going for car rides, & being an obnoxious brother in general when I wanted to sleep. When my owners take me to the beach & wish I would swim. I don't like water.

Favorite Toy: Toy?? Why the whole world is my toy! Especially the dirt near the front door behind the bushes.

Favorite Food: People food. Can't get enough people food!!!

Favorite Walk: In the park.

Best Tricks: I'm an expert at looking sad. Lying on my back to have my tummy rubbed, sounding scary when I'm playing, wagging my tail like a propellor, sneaking to the front seat of the car as my owner is about to sit. Being a furnace for my people in bed at night.

Arrival Story: I had been an abused puppy when thankfully I was rescued away from the mean people at about 7 months old. I was put into foster care and after a month, my Mommy, my Daddy and my two new human sisters came to meet me one night. I was scared of my Daddy at first, but then I realized that he would protect me. So I got to go home with them as soon as they finished the paperwork. I have been a happy pup ever since, and just cause I'm an old lady now doesn't mean I don't act like a puppy still!!!

Bio: Over time I saw that my Daddy wasn't someone to be afraid of and I loved my new family sooooo very much!!! (Still do!) I couldn't believe how much love I was getting!!! But then as my Daddy had to spend more time in a wheelchair I loved to sit and watch the world with him. And when my Daddy was bedbound, I loved to stay up on his bed wedged up next to him to keep him warm and be available to be petted anytime he wanted to pet me. A few months after my family adopted me, they got another dog...a big oaf named Clyde. He and I would run circles around the house, the yard, and everywhere, making everyone else dizzy. :D He and I loved our family. I'm sad that Clyde died the other day, but am hoping I can be a big sister to a new puppy soon!

We are deeply, horribly sad that Tillie left us on July 20th, 2006, so soon after our beloved Clyde… She had had kidney failure for almost two years, which mysteriously did not affect her enthusiasm and sweet personality. But it took its toll, and the sadness of not having Clyde’s companionship contributed, we think, to a rapid deterioration the last week. My daughter who lives in England with her husband provided great support and encouragement through the wonders of the Web Cam, while the one who is here and I showered Tillie with so much extra love, car rides, and distractions. She rallied as best she could, until fatigue took over, as well as discomfort beyond reason or fairness. Both she and Clyde slipped so peacefully to puppy heaven… We like to think of them bounding with irrepressible joy together again, and meeting our former pets as well as rejoining their human daddy. Very sad times for us. However, we will not wallow in tearfulness, but rather embrace the myriad memories of their happy lives with us, and their undisputed love, loyalty and patience!
We had been looking for a puppy to keep Tillie company, and now we have found one that we are confident would have met with her approval. Somehow we think Clyde might have been more skeptical! We will start a dogster page for him soon.
Meanwhile, we think of her and Clyde with so much love and gratitude – more than can possibly be expressed!
A huge thank you to all of you who asked and or accepted to be her buddies!! We will continue to enjoy your pics and entries.

The 4th of July is Independence Day in America. But the 3rd my mum and sis actually took me with them to the waterfront of Lake Michigan enjoy some BBQ (I snarfed an entire hamburger!!!) with their friends and see the fireworks. It was the first time in years for such an expedish, as when my closest buddy Clyde was around, loveable as he was he tended to be over-protective of me, so not always gracious to other four-footed friends. As a result I met many new wags, and was even not tooooo overwhelmed by the hugest Great Dane my mums had ever set eyes on! He was actually very cool, and sweet. By the time the fireworks began, I was laid out for a deep snooze, and never flinched. Apparently they were lovely, from all I heard... What a grand day! My mum and my sister are so loving - with all cuties and not so cuties, including cats, three of which share my home.
I am one contented lady! :D
