LOL I wear glasses too. I even have bifocals! I have a prescription for my blind eye, the same prescription I had in 1992 but I had the bifocal presciption in the right side so I wouldn't look "wierd"--the bifocals with no lines don't work too good with me so I need to use the kind with the line, and I didn't want a line across only one lens. I like to look "even!" | |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Hmmm....this is a toughy! Well, I don't know! lol. I definitely see some Maltese, and maybe some Shih Tzu and Yorkie in there, lol (her ears and the way she is doing her mouth in the very last picture TOTALLY resembles that of a Yorkie!)....and I know this is going to sound crazy but JUST in the first two pictures, her BODY hair looks almost like it has a Poodle type texture to it! However, I definitely DO NOT see ANY Chiuahaha. Who knows! We have a mixed breed ourself and have absolutely NO idea what she is, LOL. But just as everyone else said, regardless of whats in there, LOL...you have a TOTAL CUTIE!!!!

I agree. I definitely see the Yorkie in her stance, and the ears and the way she's holding her mouth. Like Stedmansmommy, I don't see any chiuahaha, but that's just me. But I do think there's a good chance she has a bit of poodle in her. Either way, she's adorable...she looks so loving. I didn't even notice her eye at first, because of her sweet personality that shines through in the photos. But there goes that old adage...it's not what's on the outside that counts...it's what's on the inside. ~Marly, Shylah and Brynna | |

| Thanks for all of the suggestions and replies, everyone! Yeah, we don't see any Chihuahua in her, so we weren't too sure. I hadn't thought of Shih tzu though, we don't see many similarities between her and our Shih tzu X, but then again, we're not too sure what's in her either . I think I was secretly hoping she did have some Yorkie in her, lol, I've always loved the breed. I do some similarities between her and your Maltese/Yorkie X, peanut! I hadn't though of Poodle though, so that's interesting! Regardless, she's our perfect little mutt . Quote:
She has a bit of a story when it comes to her eye. Well, she was originally purchased from a pet store by a lady with a two-year-old. The two-year-old was, well, a typical two-year-old, but Cannelle wasn't adequately supervised when they were together so she was dropped, kicked, etc. Moreover, this lady thought that the way to train a dog was to, well, hit them. So whenever she did anything that the lady didn't like, she was hit (this made housetraining her very difficult). Anyways, I guess this method didn't work so well because, at 6-months-old, she was dropped off at the vet's to be euthanized...just because the lady "couldn't train her". Well the vet couldn't bear to euthanize such a sweet puppy, so he called a rescue I foster for. He said that a volunteer there fell in love with her and wanted to try to take her home for the weekend but, if it didn't work out, he was wondering if the rescue could take her. The rescue said absolutely and if it didn't work out, to call her and she'd pick her up on Monday morning. Well she did get a call on Monday morning, but it was from the emergency vet. Apparently this volunteer didn't feel that thinking was important, so she plopped her in front of four large dogs who I guess thought she was a chew toy. They went for her immediately...her cheek completely shattered, her elbow was dislocated, and her eye actually plopped out. She barely survived, but her screaming saved her (it caused a dog who had her by her neck to spook and drop her when one shake would have killed her instantly) and the volunteer rushed her to the vet. My little trooper pulled through and the vet tried to put her eye back in, but it wouldn't take and had to be removed for good. Well, the rescue called me and asked us if we'd take her. I thought they wanted us to foster her so I agreed and asked her how long she'd think it would be for. She then told me she hoped that we would adopt her. We weren't looking for a third dog but, well, as soon as we saw that face, we couldn't say no. Like you said, ginnysanchez, she does have some trouble getting around. She's better than I thought she would be, but she does bang into stuff every now and again. Of course, she either doesn't even notice or she looks at me as if to say, "Geez, did ya HAVE to put that there?" and runs off all happy, lol. I was hoping to do agility with her, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to...I'm still trying to see. I wouldn't want to compete with her, but just do it for fun. My other two can't for several reasons, such as luxating patella (worse than Cannelle's, but still not bad), hating the outside, etc. . Mocha, my Shih tzu X, would be great at it (that dog can run and jump!), but she's not very sociable and I don't know if her recall is reliable enough. Panna, my Maltese, wouldn't enjoy it at all. With Cannelle, I'm concerned that, because of her lack of depth perception, she might not be able to see something well and injure herself. She has gotten the hang of catching hacky sacks though, so she is making great improvement! Thanks again for the input! Here's the picture that sold me... | |

OMG the poor puppy, that's terrible I'm glad she has such a loving home now to make up for the crappy way she's been treated as a baby | |

| What a sad story but with a happy ending! God bless you for giving her the home she deserves. And this face IS Yorkie... no doubt about it! |

| After seeing that last picture of you holding her...she definitely looks like a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie cross) to me! |

| Thanks for all of the replies! I'm actually the lucky one to have her . She's such a sweet girl...I mean, if that had happened to me, I'm sure I'd be depressed for ages and would refuse to do anything. Cannelle, on the other hand, has overcome so much, progresses every day, and she always has that famous Cannelle smile on her face. I love that baby . I have to ask...do you guys see any Yorkie in this girl? She was apparently a Bichon Frise/Shih tzu X, however she's surprisingly small for that mix (8 lbs.). We pretty much just refer to her as a Shih tzu X...but do you guys have any ideas? By the way, her name is Mocha, she's my firstborn . |
