When Love Comes in Barks…

Hahaha, I have to be dreaming, right?!
So I was, the day my friend Traci, came by my parked car and asked me to hold this little blanket bundle. She passed it to me before I could even blink and there was, little Giorgia.
A dorkie (cross between dachshund with Yorkshire), so small that could fit inside a tea cup! Really!
My heart sunk and even more when Traci told me that she was suffering because she was the runt of the litter and the other 8 siblings have been bulling her day and night.
I asked her if we could take Giorgia for a sleep over so she could have a break but I said that we could not compromise on keeping the dog for too long. Traci agreed with me, but gave me a mischievous smile!

Giorgia Belle – 12 weeks old

Kids got all excited with the play date and the weekend passed very fast. Giorgia ate and slept  so well that by Monday, when we met Traci again, she had already gained some weight.
I never had a dog of my own, before.
I had no clue on how to take care of them.
I found myself searching on the Internet and browsing on the local library for all the resources I could get my hands on…
After the weekend, we were settled. Giorgia Belle stole our hearts and we could not imagine not having her beside us, everyday.

A few days later, we found out she had a heart murmur.
We cannot guarantee she will live as long as a healthy dog, but we are willing to love her  everyday she lives.
Giorgia makes us laugh, play, run and love. Her licks and barks make our hearts happy!
Giorgia is now, 16 weeks old, she is  as big as my husband’s shoes (size13). Still little but adorable!
