Nico was my first Chihuahua, and he'll always be my heart baby. He's one of a kind -- and it's a good thing. *lol* I love him to bits, but he is a handful. *g* Nico started his life in a puppymill, went to a petstore where he was quite ill, was bought by a young woman who later left him with her parents, and then finally he found his way to me: his mommy. Nico has many health and temperament problems due to his background, but we love him and cherish him more than anything. I'm blessed to have found him. He's my little angel-boy.

Our second Chihuahua is Noelle, a ten year old rescue who'd been kept locked in her crate since puppyhood. She has severe luxating patellas, and is missing most of her teeth, but she's such a sweetie. It's really amazing to me how neglected these amazing little angels can be, and still bounce back and love you with their whole heart. We named Noelle after the Christmas season, which is when she entered our lives... thanks to a dear friend who paid for her flight here from Ohio. Noelle is the apple of her daddies eye, and has scooped out a place for herself in all of our hearts. :)

Now that you've met my kids, I suppose you'd like to know a bit about me... well... *lol* I hate writing about myself. I'm never really sure what to include and what to leave out. I either go on for what seems like forever, or give way too little information. Let's see... straight facts.... *lol* I'm a full time artist. I am a person with multiple disabilities. I am a Canadian. Hmmm... *lol* It's hard to stick to the facts without embellishing. *g* Oh well. I guess the best way to get to know me would be to check out some of my websites. Read what I believe in, and what I care about... *s* First and foremost in my life is my family, fur and skin family alike -- both are equal in my mind. Next would have to be my art, I love being able to create and share my gifts with others.

Oh pooh... *lol* I have to run. I will try to write more or edit out more a little later. The kids need to go outside, and as you already know, they come first around here. *big smile*

Blessings and Joy,
Tobi~Dawne.
