Nell, the Dog of the Day
Name: Nell
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Home: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
 
   We got our sweet Nell eight and a half years ago from what we later found out was a backyard breeder. She is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, and she stole our hearts immediately. Three days later she was in intensive care at the University of Minnesota Vet Hospital barely alive, plagued by a variety of serious ailments. Because of their excellent care, she pulled through, to grow up and become the beautiful girl she is to this day. Her full name is Nellie Bean, but we usually call her Nell.

    We are so thrilled that she not only pulled through but has energy plus and a sweet disposition! My son captured her essence by stating "the world is Nellie's toy !" She has a joy for life that spreads to all around her. She is now 8 years old, and hasn't really slowed down much at all! She is a terrier through and through.

    When we moved to our new neighborhood we soon made many friends through daily walks with Nell. Her spunk and personality makes friends of everyone she meets, and because we were the ones with her, people got to know us, too. She was our ambassador!

   We love you Nellie Bean!
