• Welcome Simone -

  
  

  As you may notice by the new profile pic, we have a new member of the family.  She is a teacup poodle, named Simone.  Simone comes to us courtesy of a long series of circumstances.  Her first owner abused her and broke her hip.  Then her second owner had to give her up as the result of a divorce.  She came to my sister's home last summer, but they have found that their schedule doesn't allow them to spend as much time with her as she needs.  So Simone lives with us now. 

  
  

  We are all fairly well impressed with her temperment and manners.  Tim wishes that if we had to have a dog, she'd be large and ferocious to scare away strangers.  The worst damage Simone could do to an intruder would be if they laughed themselves into a heart attack over her tiny little bark.

  
  

  So far the cats have even dismissed her as unworthy of a fight.  I like her, though.  Yes, she is an adult and yes, that is the smallest dog tag made that she's wearing from her collar.
