Tammi (on the left) was my best buddy for over 12 years until she died of bladder cancer in Feb 2003. Her death hit me very hard and I never really got over it
But I got a present for Christmas 2005. We adopted Mattie (on the right) after our son & fiance found her wandering lost in the Nashville area. The previous owner finally contacted our son and didn't express much interest in getting her back. In the short time we've had her, she has proven to be affectionate, protective, very loyal and extraordinarily well behaved. In other words, the perfect companion.
For the life of me, I cannot fathom why anyone would not want such a sweet dog back.

but I thank God they didn't.
