Dog Years

Today is my dog Izzy's 2nd birthday!  She is not my favorite (that title belongs to Molly and they both know it), but Izzy definitely has more spunk and personality than any other dog I have ever met.
Izzy is a Shih-Poo and has an underbite.  She weighs a whopping 5.6 pounds.  She knows all her toys by name; a reindeer, a raccoon, a bone, a donut, and a pad.  The last is the small padded bed that lies in the bottom of her kennel; she likes to drag it around the house, why, I'll never know.  Her raccoon provided a "mother" for her when she was an orphaned puppy; her mother, a Shih-Tzu, died during childbirth (puppybirth?) and her father, a Poodle, was carried off by coyotes out of his own backyard shortly after Izzy was born.

She's full of life and love, and loves to lick anything that stays still.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, IZZY!!!
