I was so busy yapping about other doggies that I forgot about my favorite little girl.
I saw her picture on a shelter website back in New York when I used to live there. My mom always said, "Amy...NO MORE PETS"...hrm....I hear that all the time
.
Well, the little story of this girl touched us in such a way that we HAD to go out and visit her five years ago.
"Mildred", named by the shelter, was found "running" around through a back road in the country and all through the woods. She didn't have a clue where she was...really! Come to find out...Mildred was BLIND!
When we went out to see Mildred she was so sweet and helpless. The volunteers at the shelter all loved her. My mom even really liked her, which was amazing. Well, Mildred came home with us.
Mildred has a few nicknames: "Milly", "Miss Piggie", and "The Queen Pig".
She likes to bust out in a little dance for a treat....she hops around and wiggles her little "chubby piggie butt".
Mildred is now about 9 or 10 years old. She lives with my mom in New York and has a little Wire Fox Terrier boyfriend named "Spota". I last visited New York a year ago, but I ask about Milly all the time. She is doing just fine!
