I
first met Tinkerbell on Saturday, June 12, 2004, at a local rescue
organization's annual reunion picnic. My parents and I had taken two of
our Chihuahuas, Ruby and Rosy, to the picnic. One of the volunteers'
significant others was fostering Tinkerbell. I immediately fell in love
with her. Tinkerbell came to the rescue organization because she had
been surrendered by her previous owner, a college student. The college
student felt that Tinkerbell was too hyper. What? This dog is the
ultimate lap dog. My mom and I came to the conclusion that the college
student didn't have enough time for Tinkerbell. The college student had
adopted Tinkerbell in February 2004 right after the puppy mill where
Tinkerbell lived caught on fire. I told the volunteer's significant
other that I would adopt Tinkerbell if he didn't. I kept telling
everyone she was going to be my dog. The next day, the volunteer and
her significant other brought Tinkerbell over to my house for me to
adopt. I was excited (and still am!).
Today Tinkerbell is one happy Chihuahua. She has Ruby and Rosy for
companionship. My mom is home all day while I am at work. Tinkerbell
is definitely spoiled. She sleeps with me at night in a warm cozy bed.
I hope to enjoy many happy years with Tinkerbell! (I later found out
that there had been six offers to adopt Tinkerbell at the picnic!)
Here's a picture of Tinkerbell sitting on my keyboard tray in July 2004.
I was getting ready for work one morning. I turned around and
Tinkerbell had climbed up on my keyboard from my computer chair. It's
one my favorite pictures.
