My Story:

I'd rather tell you about my 2dogs. My eldest, Tensha (Staffie), is actually more my mothers dog. She's 7years old and think she's a human being. When my mom saw her for the first time, she could'n stop spoiling her. I know that if Tensha had to choose between the two of us, Iwould come a sad second.

My baby is Vespa, an Italian Greyhound that thinks she's a cat. People warned me that an Iggie has twice as much energy as a Jack Russel. They were wrong!! Iggies have 10x more energy than JRT. Vespa is only 5months old and we've just finished puppy classes. We've had our 1st turn in the showring and I hope to do agillity with her in the future.

Vespa & Tensha are very close. In fact, our whole "family" - 2dogs, 2cats & myself - enjoy each others company and funtimes together very much.
