The day before Thanksgiving, after weeks if perusing the internet, I went to the San Gabriel Humane Society. I wanted to see, in person, the little Mini Pincer I had seen online. They called her Alice and she answers to that name. She had been at the shelter since mid-October. I wnt back for her on the day after Thanksgiving. She was spayed early that morning and I picked her up around 4pm. We spent the week end with her in my lap. The photo of me holding her (I'm saying "good puppy) is from her graduation from beginning training. She weighed an emaciated 5 1/2 pounds then but the vet wanted her "filled out" so now she is a solid 9 pounds. She loves attacking and chasing her toys. She throws them in the air and chases them. She's a real joy in the house, and a challenge on the leash - but she's improving. Since she responds so well to the name they gave her at the shelter I let her keep it. She starts out in her own bed but in the middle of the night she sneaks under the covers. The vet says not to worry he has two mini pins and they do the same thing.
