Lizzie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lizzie
Age: Eighteen months old
Gender: Female Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Salisbury, North Carolina, USA
 
   Introducing Elizabeth Taylor "Lizzie" Edmundson. Lizzie is a Yorkshire Terrier, who came to live with us, August 2011. She has a sister, Piper, who is three years old and they both came from the same breeder. My neighbor wanted a Yorkie, and wanted it to look like Piper. So, when Piper's breeder had a litter, I took her to see the puppies. There were two sisters, and at the time, Lizzie was not being sold. We left with Lily and I had no intention of getting another. The little puppy that stayed behind, remained on my mind and I thought Piper needed a playmate. Lizzie became available and Piper went with me to get her.

    Lizzie's first couple of weeks were full of accidents. My husband and I were walking the girls, when Lizzie did a flip, and landed on her head. That same night, she fell out of the bed. The next night, she and Piper were in the Lazy Boy playing, Lizzie fell out and hit her head on the computer chair bottom. A few days later, she got between the door jamb & door when I closed it. Despite all of these accidents, she has survived and is the most loving little girl. She and Piper are best friends. We are so glad to have these two precious girls in our lives and happy that Lizzie survived her first few weeks with us, despite herself!

    Lizzie is a very affectionate dog and enjoys playing ball. She loves being groomed and likes to dress up and have pretty bows in her hair. When she went to Obedience School, the instructor was amazed at how she walked with her head held high and her tail up. She asked if she came from show dogs. She is a vital part of our family and loves playing with her sister, Piper. We love her a lot!
