I originally set out to find another Min Pin. I love the Minis but they are more defiant that obedient. They can be lap dogs too but not as much as the Chi. I also adopted Liza for my 13 yr old chocolate lab Charlie. When my min pin died last Oct. "Charlie" was sad. She was his best friend. Charlie has Degenerative Myelopathy, a disease causing a cruel, slow progression of paralysis in the hind legs, eventually affected the front legs too. Charlie still walks on his own thanks to wheelchair exercises to keep him stronger. I will not have him much longer so not only are we healing Liza, she is healing Charlie and me.
Liza was found on a horseback riding trail in Tenn. She was transported by a transport company to the Northeast after being medically treated for everything. I could not believe my eyes when I first saw her being carried off that transport truck. She is 10 lbs and she looked so delicate and so adorable. When she was found on that trail, she was extremely thin, loaded with worms, had mange and very lucky a predator did not get her. A rescue group took her in and had her vetted. There has been little to no adjustment adding her to my home which consists of Charlie and my 3 parrots. Liza is so gentle with the birds and now sits closer to Charlie on his bed. I will post pictures of the 2 of them tonight. Nice to be here everyone. Look forward to checking out the photos too.
