   Hi! My name is Holly, I am a 4.5 year old female - no one knows what breed I am but my mother just tells people I'm a princess so that's good enough for me!

    I was born in Auckland, New Zealand and at five weeks I was taken to the SPCA there as no one wanted me. It was touch and go for me there as I was so small I kept squeezing through the bars and escaping! There was a lot of talk about putting me to sleep; I don't know why 'cause I wasn't tired at all!

    Anyway, my Mother who worked at the shelter took me home for a couple of weeks to give me a chance to grow until I could come back to the shelter and mix with the other puppies. I stole her heart though and I fit right in with my older cat brother and sister! They couldn't bear to hand me back (and the cats did need to be kept in line).

    I travelled with my family to Houston, Texas last year and I'm now enjoying my life here with two acres to run and chase armadillos! I never catch up with them and if I do I just run away yelping as if someone was trying to kill me! Scary looking things!

   This is a photo of my first Texas Christmas!
