Picture Perfect

Meet Foxy II. This is one lucky pup. He was rescued from a puppy mill by Dinah Toro, an animal lover to the 10th power! Foxy II, is a bit shy, and prefers to spend his days at Charlotte Woodson Antiques, behind her antique frames where he can see himself in the mirror! I like to spend my time there visiting with Dinah, over a cup of expresso, and taking endless photos of Foxy!

And much love to Kathy ( Mammoth Lakes DP) and Dan who lost their dear precious Daisy recently. I got to meet Daisy while in California last April. Goldens hold a special place in my heart.

Dinah said...: Thank you for all your kind comments about my little lamb, Foxie. The puppy mill was actually closed (a friendly force closure) and all the poms were taken to an animal shelter. Foxie had been there 3 months when I found him at Petfinder.com. He had been in the puppy mill for six years as a s***m donor!!!
A woman from Switzerland asked if he was a Volpino (Italian Spitz).

I love him.
Virginia and I went to have a manicure and pedicure today. What a treat!; March 18, 2011 at 5:33 PM
