Love your pup. Thanks for sharing.

But I've been through the Spanish to English, Italian to English and French to English dictionaries and can't figure out what Dulcinea del Taboso means.

Edit: Nevermind: Google saved the say. Don Quixote!

You gotta love Wikepedia's entry on Dulcineau. Sounds like a Yorkie to me!

Don Quixote describes her appearance in the following terms: "… her name is Dulcinea, her country El Toboso, a village of La Mancha, her rank must be at least that of a princess, since she is my queen and lady, and her beauty superhuman, since all the impossible and fanciful attributes of beauty which the poets apply to their ladies are verified in her; for her hairs are gold, her forehead Elysian fields, her eyebrows rainbows, her eyes suns, her cheeks roses, her lips coral, her teeth pearls, her neck alabaster, her bosom marble, her hands ivory, her fairness snow, and what modesty conceals from sight such, I think and imagine, as rational reflection can only extol, not compare." [Volume 1/Chapter XIII]
