On the right of the photo is 6-year old westie female, Taffy, a former photo winner. On the left is her new westie brother, 6-month old Timmy, the new contestant. Timmy has no special skills. However, his finest attribute is his very affectionate personality. He truly filled a hole in our hearts when he joined our family after losing our 17-year old westie, Tootsie. He and Taffy are examples of the whole world being brighter when pets are part of the family!

This is my little Hadley Rae Hemingway. She is 10 months old and is doing what she does best, being adorable! Hadley came into my life after I lost my very special, 14 year old Cairn Terrier, Maisie Grace. Hadley is part Shih Tzu and part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is sweet, smart, and a great companion.
The little Chihuahua with only one eye is named Millie . She has a children's book written about her and changed the lives of many dogs who suffered a very harsh life. Rachel my daughter came up with the idea of helping dogs like Millie: "Millie and Me, Millie gets a Home" My daughter at the age of ten drew all the photo illustrations and asked me to write the story. It is an incredible story of empathy for those who don't look normal but deserve love as well as anybody. Millie passed a few years back but her spirit and legacy live on.
MiaBella is our special girl now and fills the hole Millie left in our lives.
