My Babies : Pooki and Misha

Here are my 2 adorable babies, Pooki and Misha who are the 2 white fluffy dogs on the left of the photo, enjoying a visit from their friend, a Jack Russell.

Pooki and Misha were adopted from the Toronto Humane Society, Pooki in 1997 and Misha in 2003. Misha has really had a difficult time because she spent the first 6 years of her life in a puppy mill, continuously breeding litters of puppies. When she became ill, the poor little girl was literally kicked to the curb. When Ryan and I saw her on the Humane Society site, Ryan said "Mom, we have to go and get her!" We did and the rest is history. It has taken a long time for her to moderately get over her chronic chest infection but she is a sweet, loving and wonderful addition to our family.

Pooki is the boss! Even when we are puppy sitting very large dogs, Pooki is the one organizing everyone and ordering them around. She is such an adorable girl and smart as a whip. I taught her how to say "I love you" and the kids down the hall have taught her how to jump through hoops and do other tricks.
