She started out so small...

Here is my only girl.  As most of you know, when we lost Willis, I felt the need to fill the void.   A dog is just a necessary part of our family.  It is extremely helpful when Jesse is gone for his 48 hour go arounds or scouting trips or whatever he is doing.  A dog keeps me company.  So, after much searching we settled on this little girl.  We found her up in Riverside County.  Almost $250 later she was clean, disease free and full of life.  We were told she was a Terrier mix, so she wouldn't get too big.  Oh, they were SO wrong.  She started like this... 

She was such a tiny pup.  She weighed about 7 lbs when we

got her!  She did the usual antics and still does occasionally chew

something she shouldn't.

Now, she has turned into this!  Pepper is 35 pounds and only nine months old!  We are glad to have her and she is becoming a very good dog... thanks to Ceasar Millan:)  I love her and I am truly grateful for her companionship.  Those of you who are thinking about getting a dog please remember that they need your time and attention and consistency.  You love them and they will love you forever:)
