The new little one

We had to put our sweet little dog, Roo, to sleep 9 days before Christmas. It was completely unexpected and totally devastating. We'd had him for nearly 11 years. It was the Sunday following the tragedy in Newtown and I always thought he would be a good TheraPet. Now he's getting his chance, with the 20 new little angels that arrived shortly before him.

We never thought we'd ever be ready for another puppy but, BOY, were we wrong! Meet our new little one, ANGEL. She's a 4-month-old chiweenie and weighs about 4 pounds. She's so sweet and so incredibly smart and we are so in love with her already!

The Hot Tamale chose her name. She is named in memory of her guardian angel, Roo, and the 20 sweet little angels from Newtown. We are planning on having her certified as a TheraPet for the local children's hospital, also in memory of the children who lost their lives in the Newtown tragedy.
