She is a 8 lb. Yorkshire Terrier named Mira. My honeyman named her after one of his favorite actress's Mira Sorvino who is known for movies such as "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion", and "Like Dadelion Dust" to name a couple. He really liked her work as well as her fathers work...Oops getting off track here.

All this, (the Mira story) came about becuz I had just lost my second sheltie, MissyAnn, in August 2013. (Lost Shelby, the other sheltie in 2010) I was so distraught over loosing them both, I couldn't stop crying for weeks. I still had Obie, A Very beautiful rat terrier, who was another rescue we made, whom I lost in a card game.....😂 Ok, not really in a card game, but I lost him to my youngest gson becuz of a promise I made to him. (Another story, another day.)

Anyway, it was in October 2013 when we got her....she was almost 2 yrs. old. My daughter in law knew of a woman who was taking this yorkie to the pound bcuz she could not have 2 dogs where she was moving. I thought "how could she not choose this cutie?". Mira is adorable.....hehehehe. NOT!!😳 I figured with her age she would be well trained....NOT! Poor Mira was use to being kept in her cage for 12 hrs. a day while her owner worked. Once trained...around the end of the first year....I always let my dogs roam. I always thought dogs would not poop where they slept or ate?? NOT TRUE!!

Well, the very first night she peed and pooped and managed to sling it through the wires of the kennel/cage onto my BR floor. When she was out during the day, if we were not paying her adequate attention, she would PnP around the house......including on my bed!! (I did end up with a new comforter!)

At this point she wasn't winning me over.😡 After 3 nights of this followed by a bath each day, I was ready to let her go. I thought maybe she isn't trainable. Then the bulb went off!! She NEEDS to be out of that cage. She was traumatized by it!! We trashed it immediately....pulled her between us at night, took her with us in the car when permitted. She nips at our heels and jumps to be carried like a child....and yes, we oblige her. We have made her the center of our world.....but oh, lookout when our youngest gson is here. She nipped him last week, and though she is "daddys" girl,  Papaw was not pleased with her at all!!😠

We are working on her jealousy/possessive issues. I would end by saying Mira has come a long way. We love and adore her. Now....if we could just do something about those stinky feet!! Yuk!!
