I brought Puppy home with me and introduced her to her "new home". She was given lots of "snuggly" blankets, toys
and love. Below, are pictures of Puppy eating, playing and just having fun as she got acclimated to her new environment.
There are pictures of Puppy playing outside in Grandmom's back yard. She's actually playing with a yellow furry
bananna toy. She also had a carrot, a tug toy, and many squeaky toys that didn't squeak for long once Puppy had a few bites
of them...

| Dinner Time |
|
| OK, hurry up! I'll let you take my picture. |
| This tastes pretty good! |
|
| I can't wait to drink my ice water...... |
| Nice, Cool Green Grass..... |
|
| What a great place to play! |
I got Puppy when she was just 10 weeks old from a local breeder in 1996....she was the last one!
At that time, we were staying with Grandmom because it was closer for me to get to law school from her house. Puppy
loved to play in the living room while Grandmom watched. She would prance around in circles...almost like a miniature
pony....she was so adorable! She also enjoyed playing with her toys outside in the back yard...or just sitting with
me on the porch or outside on Grandmom's front steps to see what was "going on" in the neighborhood...
| Ready? Set? Go! |
|
| Around and around I go.... |
Puppy and I would play outside when I came back from classes. Fortunately, since I was in law school, I could
study from home, when needed, to help Puppy with her housebreaking needs...She loved to play outside in the back yard....
| This is really fun! |
|
| Let me see if you can catch it if I toss it to you. |

"Bite...Bite...Bite....I'm gonna' get you, Carrot!"
| PJ Time! |
|
| I had to wear these so I wouldn't scratch myself. |
When Puppy was about one and 1/2 years of age, she developed allergies and we took her to one of the best canine dermatologists
in the area. After extensive testing (skin biopsies, blood analyses, etc.,) the doctor prescribed a strict regimen of
antibiotics; diet control; weekly baths in medicated shampoo; and allergy vaccines...( I learned how to give her the injections,
myself.) In this picture, Puppy is actually wearing girls size 4 thermal pajamas, safetypinned together to prevent
her from biting or scratching her skin. She also had to wear the infamous "cone-head" (Elizabethan Collar) when I was
not there to supervise her. We had a difficult time during this phase, but, eventually, we were able to stabilize her
and she felt much better.
| Allergies! What a Bummer! |

| ....but check out my comfy, monogrammed pillow...nice, huh? |

Justice and her "cousin", Tyson....shown below:
This is Puppy with her "cousin" Tyson. This picture was taken at our other Grandmom's house. As you can
see, our family is a furbaby loving family. Whatever the event, all furbabies are welcome. Sienna, Tyson and Puppy
were also joined by our uncle's two furbabies. I'm sure Tyson will miss them both...He was looking for Sienna the last
time they visited....but, she wasn't there...
This is what also happened after Sienna passed away. When Justice and I came home, Justice could sense
that something was wrong....something...someone was missing....Sienna wasn't there, and Justice knew it...she could still
follow Sienna's scent, and even pulled me to the place where Sienna is buried...She would also lay in specific areas in the
house where Sienna used to lay. We could tell she missed Sienna...now we miss them both....
