We adopted Tilly (formerly named Sue), a minitature Schnauzer, in November 2010. She was one of three Schauzers (the others were Sonnet and Sparrow) released from Missouri when Proposition B was passed by 51.9% of the vote. The law forced breeders to meet certain humane standards, including by reducing the number of dogs held for breeding to no more than 50....which doesn't seem like a lot to ask for dogs....
Well, Tilly came to us a mess....and now she is a success!! She trembled terribly at first and refused to walk. She would only stay in a cage and initially she wouldn't come out. We only assume that was what she was use to and felt safe. Over the past year, we have showered Tilly with love, encouragement, and affection. She is a completely different dog! She now has traded her cage for a corner on the couch. She LOVES bones, steals the cat's toys, and dances for us every morning when its time for breakfast. She has fit well into our family. Tilly loves to watch the Bears and Notre Dame football with her daddy. We have 2 cats and she has even been caught cuddling Pepper! Tilly entered our neighborhood Vet Sponsored Howl-O-Ween Pet Parade and won first place by online voters! We now have confirmation that we have the cutest dog in the neighborhood!! :)
She is our joy and we just love her so much! Thanks to Missouri and Magnificent Mutts for bringing us our cute little baby.....our family is now complete and we are excited to new adventures in 2012!
Sincere regards,
Leia and Larry
