When I
first brought Munchkin home, she did all of her business on the
floor! No matter how many times I brought her outside these accidents
kept happening. For the first two weeks we basically lived outdoors!
She did have an excuse. When I brought her to the vet, her spay
operation was causing some concern and pressure and she was just
trying to relieve the pressure. I would tell everyone who adopts a
new pet to hang in there. She has been well worth the effort of those
first few weeks.
Now
Munchkin is my social calling card. She is well loved wherever she
goes. She has travelled with me (on a plane) to New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. Everyone in my condo loves her. She has made great
friends with everyone at the sailing club and is just the most popular
dog around.
I thank
God everyday that I found her. Please keep up the great work!

Update
April '12 ...
Most animals adopted from shelters don't have a birthday. When I
adopted Munchkin (aka Nicole) in September of 2008, she was thought to
be about a year and a half old. Now that she is in or around five
years old, I thought it was time for a birthday party! A good
time was had by all! The humans had ice cream cake while Munchkin had
specially made dog birthday cookies just for her.
Instead of bringing gifts, Munchkin asked her guests to bring money to
support Georgette. Munchkin is usually frightened of big dogs but
when she heard Georgette's story, she knew she had to help. Here are
some pictures of the great event.
A cheque will be in the mail shortly totalling $100.00. Munchkin's
friends are generous!
