Just before I found out I was pregnant with Kaelyn, we were in a pet shop in Florida and saw the cutest little Peekapoo. She was 3 1/2 months old...the runt of the litter...and had just been set out for adoption. If I remember correctly, she weighed 1 1/2 pounds at the time. We named her Gizmo because she looked like the title character from the movie when you pushed her ears just a little forward.
Gizzy grew to be a whopping 3-5 pounds, depending on whether or not she was wet...lol She was my baby...and she was extremely good with the kids. During Kaelyn's 7th birthday party, she ran out the door without us noticing and someone picked her up and took her. I have missed Gizzy so much over the years...and have wanted another *itty bitty* like her. We figured we'd just wait until we were done having children and they were a little older....like that will ever happen...he he
Just recently there was an ad on an email list for little rat terrier/chihuaua mix puppies. Mama was only 7 lbs. and Dad was just a little bigger. So we went to look at them. Naturally, I fell for the runt...a little black puppy with white front paws and a little white on her chest. When she's romping through the grass, she closely resembles a little mouse. I'm assuming that's the reason the cat keeps wanting to attack her. Einstein and Anna are amused by such a little thing. Einie is still afraid of her...and may always be, since she's so little. (Something about little puppies terrifies the 60-lb. goofball...go figure!) Anna started playing with her yesterday...which made Noelle totally crack up.
So...drumroll please...introducing Gypsy Rose Lee (did you know she was a stripper in the 30's?!)...
