Totally agree with you about the eyes. Hers are so soft and my Cavalier Louis, has the kindest eyes...

Ella is a Yorkie mix - the vet thinks half Yorkie, half Maltese (a little Morkie!). I actually rescued this one in Miami. I write for doggie publications and a website and I went to Animal Services in Miami to interview them about puppy mills, as there had been a great deal of puppy mill busts at the time.

They showed me Ella Bean who was rescued in one of these busts, but who was too sick to go to rescue. She had a huge gash in her thigh, Kennel Cough, an upper respatory infection, she was malnourished and had really severe hypoglycemia and her tail had been severed after it was caught in a metal cage. They were going to euthanize because they hadn't found anyone to foster her in that condition.

I decided too give it a shot - I fell in love with her eyes. Three weeks of manually hydrating her round the clock every 2-3 hours...feeding her by hand and treating all her wounds...it was a long road but now she is the happiest little girl. She has a sense of humor and always makes me laugh. She is tough as nails and at 2 lbs, totally bosses my 12 pound Cavalier around. She is friendly and social and loves people and other dogs.

She inspires me every day and has taught me that love and patience can overcome any adversity! She is my little miracle!
