Bitty Baby came to us almost 3 years ago when he was about 7 weeks old.He belong to some neighbors up the street and they left him out in all types of weather and he was always hungry. He would come and sit on the porch railing and look in the window at us.

We already had 2 cats and a dog so really didn't need another furbaby. We took him back home about 3 or 4 times.

Finally called animal control & explained the situation. Was told if we had fed him this long he was ours.

He came to us in Dec and this was March. We got his shots and had him neutered and the neighbors never even asked for him back and I'm so glad. He's the lovingest old thing and stays with me, every time I sit down to read, sew, play on the computer or just sit.

Right now he's laying here curled against my legs. He had decided he was going to live with us and that was that.

We lost our little shitzu 2 years ago after 17 years and he knew I needed comforted and my health is not very good and he knows when I have a relapse and he stays right with me. Everyone that comes here he has to show off and say look at me aren't I great fella.

He has brought so much joy and comfort to me. I hate to think what would have happened to him if we hadn't taken him in.

The neighbors soon moved and never bothered to even find out if we had him. They just don't know all the joy and love they missed out on. We also have another little girl terrier we rescued from the shelter and she is also so loving. We got her on her last day and I think she realizes it and thats why she loves us so good.

We now have 6 furbabies and my husband says thats it!!!......OK. I say ....wink wink.....
