Jilly Bean: our new shop dog in training

We posted on Facebook already about our new girl (Jilly the little wonder dog), but wanted to make it official on our blog. As many of you know, we lost our dearest Mollie (who was a friend to so many of our customers) last fall. We weren't at all sure we wanted to get another dog; the grief was overwhelming and we just couldn't think about it. But as so many good things happen, Jilly just fell into our laps (and hearts). My mother rescued her at only four months old (from a mean, bad family)... and then mom had hand surgery (etc.) and decided that she couldn't really fully take care of little Jilly, so she became ours!

She's an 18-pound chihuahua/mini-pinscher mix and just had her first birthday last month. And she's as cute as can be. She loves everyone, although is still a little fearful around other dogs.

We've been bringing her to the shop with us lately, even though there's still some training to be done. She'd love to meet you, so stop by!
