(formerly Lyra)

I was just looking at your “Happy Tails” section, and wanted to share my own.

In August I adopted a very shy Lyra (now Lila).  We have put in a lot of work, and she has just become an excellent companion.  Everyone that takes the time to get to know her loves her (including my parent’s usually grumpy border collie).  I am so happy I made the leap to get such a special little dog.  I would be more than happy to send pictures if anyone is interested.

Thank you for all of your help, and all you do!
