Papillon (and Phalene) breed>

Hey pals it’s love your pet day…so we’re gonna let mom talk today.

Hi all,I'm sorry I didn't get to finish sending out our bark earlier..but we're gonna try and finish now.  I just want to say that we consider it a privilege to have our precious girls. Sometimes, as we all can attest to, they can be pains in the anal glands. But we wouldn’t trade one second of the time we’ve been allowed to have with them. They are our kids…sure I go overboard sometimes with the clothes and the toys and the treats…but think about it …they are happy with a full belly, a warm bed and a scratch on the head. There love is so unconditional. Think about how you are greeted when you walk in the door, whether you’ve been gone 5 minutes or 5 hours. They are ecstatic to see you. We can all learn something about how to treat others and basically live our lives from our pets. I can’t remember a heartbreak so great as when I lost my Chi-baby last month. I think of and miss her every single day. They bring so much to our lives that when we lose one -- we have (at least for me and my husband) have lost a piece of our family. We may not have the cutest or the smartest dogs … but we love them. Our gurlz--Sable and Mali--give us joy and love that is unmatched and once again I want to say it’s a privilege to have them.

Hi furend! Mom just wanted to tell everyone to Smile Today . She’s been running around crazy…she said a puppy is like having 10 two year olds. She picks up toys and turns around and there they are all in the floor again. Mali is doing so well. She hasn’t had an accident since last Monday and she gets to sleep in the big room now. She’s allowed anywhere in the house in the daytime just not at night. She is also learning commands…she sits, (she doesn’t get “Stay”), she “leaves it” … even when you tell her it’s ok she still won’t get it. She does “Down” like laydown. And she’s learning to do them with hand signals and not voice command. So we know she can be pretty smart--but boy she sure doesn’t act it sometimes. Mom wanted to try and get barks out tonight because we have company this weekend and she says she has to clean and buy groceries and do laundry…so she’s gonna be pretty busy. Plus she has another sinus fection and she had to go to her Roomy Toad Arfritis Dogter yesterday cuz she says her bones hurt but she’s tough! We lubbies you all --- Now let’s see those pearly whites

Hi, Momma and I decided that running in this contest might be a good way for me to help other dogs that are not as lucky as I am to have a good home. It would be kind of like my legacy, because I think it is important to touch as many lives as posible. This way we could all touch the lives of thousands of dogs that are not so lucky as most of us. I know that times are tough. So if you can not afford to make the donation for a vote, we totally understand, but if you can at all afford it, we would be so pleased. Even if I don't win, I will be happy to have helped. Thank you!
