Name: Angel
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Maltese, Bichon Frise

   This dog is sooo special because I haven't had a dog in about 25 years. The last dog I had was the best - a pekinese who did absolutely everything perfectly, with the one exception of shedding dreadfully. We had to put her to sleep about thirteen years later, and it was the hardest thing ever. So I didn't want another dog for a very long time, and I thought it was nice not to be tied down as I have gotten older and travel a lot. After I retired, I began dog sitting my childhood friend's poodle/bichon when they traveled and I got the itch again.

    I discovered Angel on the Internet and here she was, up in Northern Wisconsin in the same town where my daughter lived and she looked perfect from her picture. I was leery; but, she is perfect. She is so quiet, I never know she is around. She does not shed. She is trained. Mostly she just wants to sit on your lap for t.v., on the couch if we are busy, and at the end of our bed for sleeping at night. She travels so well - we can take her anywhere and it becomes her home until we leave. When we get home, she bounds around the house rolling on the carpeting, jumps up on the couch, down, then upstairs on the bed, then bounces back down stairs again. She never jumps into her dog dish as I'm putting food into it, as other dogs usually do. She does not beg at the table for food... the dog I babysit for had jumped up and stolen my steak right off the bread in front of me, plus numerous other things! Angel, like her name, is just as perfect as she first appeared, and we love her.
