Arrival Story: One day, someone approached my sister-in-law at the shopping center with a small, red puppy and put the dog in her hands saying "Do you want a puppy?" Before Jennifer could even answer, the person walked away. And, she and my brother had a dog they couldn't take care of. They tried to keep her. They tried to socialize her with their American pit bull terriers. One of the dogs took to her instantly and they became partners in crime. Their other dogs weren't having it. They had two kids and four other dogs- and keeping Sandy just wasn't an option. And, they didn't want to leave her at the pound. They didn't even fathom the idea. My brother, Tony, and his wife, Jennifer were the previous parents of Little Miss Sandy. But, they couldn't take care of her, so decided to give her to my mum for Christmas. But, instantly, I fell in love with her. So, my mum passed her on to me. Sandy instantly became a big part of the family. She loves Sakura, she loves Cinnamon, she loves Lilo, she practically has a crush on Chance and she adores the cats. But, I don't think anyone holds her affection as much as I do. Sandy is a part of an evergrowing family now- and neither of us would have it any other way.
Bio: Sandy is a REAL Heinz 57. You think you're dog is unique? Well, we don't even know what Sandy is. BOL But, we have taken guesses. Which would explain why Sandy's breed changes almost on a month basis. Right now, our best guess is pembroke welsh corgi/chihuahua/pug/beagle. I've wondered about Jack Russell terrier, however. I guess we'll never know. But, that's the beauty of having a mutt. :]

The Last Forum I Posted In: Adding eggs to dog's food
It was the year 2007 and I was searching frantically for a small dog. Of course, I had my big dogs. My beautiful shetland sheepdog mix, Cinnamon and my rescue American pit bull terrier, Lilo. But, there was something missing. There was something else that I was longing for that a big dog couldn't provide. I wanted a small dog. I love big dogs dearly. I love the way they think they're 50 lb lap dogs. I love the way they leave drool all over your clothes after a long walk. I love they way they tug at the end of the leash when you're walking too slow. Big dogs are amazing. However, I was raised by a mom who showed, bred and rescued pomeranians for most of her life. I spent most of my years with at least one small dog in petting distance. There was a small dog in the house. My sister has a chihuahua mix named Sakura. I've always loved her. She's gorgeous. She's beautiful. But, she wasn't mine. She wouldn't be coming with me when I moved. She was my sisters. Which meant that I was; technically; without a small dog of my own. I researched some of the smaller breeds for months. I read about chihuahuas, papillons, malteses, jack russell terriers, toy fox terriers, pugs, pomeranians... I read and read and read. I was bound and determined to find the breed for me. But, my standards were high. Since I love big dogs (especially American pit bull terriers), I obviously love a dog with a lot of energy. I want my dog energetic, hyper, playful, loving, "terrier-like", a companion... someone that would always be there for me. A steady, loyal companion. That's hard to find in a dog. But, I was determined. After months of long, hard research... I found the yorkshire terrier. That was the breed for me. I loved everything about the yorkie- from his shiny coat, to his long fur, to the way he's small- but, still a terrier to his companionship. The yorkie was perfect for me. After deciding on the breed, I spent the ne
