Bitsy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bitsy
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Schoodle (Shih Tzu, Poodle mix)
Home: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
 
   Bitsy was a quivering lump in the middle of a very busy intersection when I first saw her. Trucks and cars were swerving around her. When I pulled onto a side street and came close to her, she came right to me and sat in the front seat as I drove around the whole area looking for an owner to come out calling her. When no one came, I took her home and called local lost pet numbers and posted a "found" sign in the area and waited for an owner to show up. When no one advertised for her or called about her, we found ourselves getting very attached to her, and she showed lots of previous owner's good training, we fell in love. She has been with us now for over three years and we cannot imagine what life would be without her. As you can see, she is right at home and enjoying life immensely these days! We still are not sure what her age is, but the vet guesses eight years and, as you can see, she is developing those pesky cataracts! But she can see well still, especially when spotting a kitty while taking her daily walk! Our wonderful big dog Rosie died a few months ago, and Bitsy has helped us grieve and has tried to fill in the gap Rosie left. As we are retirees, she makes our older years much happier!
