It didn't take long to agree to at least look at her. When I got a look at her there was no way I could leave with out taking her with me. She was under weight, frightened and a few days after getting her home found she was loaded with tapeworms. Sissy is a very happy and loving little girl today (oh, who am I kidding she weighs 11+ lbs also) but still is not much for playing with toys and is not especially fond of strange men. I'd do it all over again and have no regrets in taking her. | Oh, I can just picture her as a scared little puppy! I feel bad for the poor family who had to give her up, but I'm so glad she found a home with you and Bubba!!
