![]() Dear Meri Thanks for the message. Miniature Schnauzers are the best. Cinder is a little girl though(I won't tell her you thought she was a boy) ha- ha.Cinder is her call name, her AKC name is Britta Ilsa Elli Kelsch. The neat thing about Cinder is that we share the same Birthday. She will be 2 on February 21st,2004. She is so lovable and intelligent beyond words. I taught her ASL and she understand it like a book. Her favorite thing at night time, if we are sleeping, is to turn on the TV and somehow find Animal Planet.I taught her how to turn on the TV but how she knows what channel is beyond me. She is such a comfort to me and when I am down she looks at me , gets my attention and then does something silly, like to say "look mama" are you happy yet. She keeps the smile on my face and in my heart going always. I hope things go good for Jake and he is alright. Please let me know his test results ok. Thanks again for the message. Denise & Cinder |
