I hope so! We need to get her some karate lessons. Although, she seemed to hold her own against Pinky, her shelter roommate.
Today there was a glitch in our plans to take her home tomorrow. They (the shelter) brought her by van to a vet to be spayed along with some little kittens, and the vet discovered the kittens have calicivirus (basically feline cold). So, even though she has no symptoms, she's been exposed. Since she might be sick, they didn't didn't spay her. We've decided to wait a few days and watch to see that she and the other kittens don't develop anything worse than minor cold/flu symptoms. If all goes well, no one gets seriously ill, we'll get her thurs.
I know you'll all send some good vibes her way! She's had a rough little life. She's ready for a home.

Good vibes to Twiggy!
I volunteer with shelter cats... its pretty much a given that they will all get kitty flu... stressful environment, crowded conditions and all even though the sick ones are quarantined as soon as its noticed. Kittens/young cats usually don't get as sick and get over it pretty quickly.

Thanks, Eden. That makes me feel less worried.
Maggie Tonight, looking so much better! Ignore the shaved leg it makes her feel funny.
Christmas 2004- her first with us.

Ama -- so glad Maggie is feeling better (been following the other thread). Hope she'll continue to improve. I like the shaved leg look; it's cute!![]()

Twiggy's here! My vet, the best vet in the world, went to the shelter last night to check her out (without my asking!). She thought she was cute, sweet, healthy, and doubted she had been infected, so I took her home today!
I was supposed to keep them apart, butthat didn't happen. Eddy acted like he was going to die if he didn't get to see her. So, I let him, and that was that. They played all day long. They like each other! She's been pretty domineering, and he's a little scared of her, which is perfect. She has been chasing him around all day, now they're finally conked out. I think they had a contest to see who could stay awake the longest. I'm expecting to be up all night.
Ama, Maggie looks great. Isn't funny how tiny her little bones are under the fluff?!
Yippee for Twiggy. Heidi and Maggie were thick-as-thieves from the minute Maggie arrived. Heidi about bounced off the walls "oh goodie, look what they brought me, a friend!!!" I bet you were relieved they hit it off so well?
Occassionally, I shave the girls myself and they both are so tiny under the fluff. They seem like such bigger dogs when we let them get a bit wild 'n wooly.

I will give this another try. Here is my dog Shoni. She will be 12 this summer.

Oh my god--this thread is my weakness...I couldn't resist. What a magnificently cute little thang!!! She is absolutely perfect for 12.
What kind of dog is she??
She is a Shih Tzu. Pure love and loves to snuggle. Some people think these dogs are barky or yippy. She really does not bark much at all until she gets excited while playing with my husband. Gosh she is such a sweet dog.
Here is my ferret Whizz, unfortunately no longer with us:
And this is Eric, the cat, about to celebrate his 8th birthday, but still behaving like a naughty teenager:

One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!
Aw, that's a cute pup, solo.
Twiggy came home last week, took one look at Eddy, and went into heat (he's VERY handsome). Luckily, she wasn't that bad....but Eddy was, well, enthralled with her! She was well enough to get spayed Tuesday, and she's recuperating very nicely.
Here she is in her Elizabethan collar. She actually doesn't seem to mind having it on at all.
