Meet Connie! Connie is a very sweet little girl, and a very friendly little girl. At first she was a little afraid of people, but not any more. Her personality is really shining through.

Connie is about 4 years old and has a very good temperament. She's an excellent patient when she goes to the doctor. Connie is a red/fawn brushcoat with a black mask. She also has black eyebrows - something I've never seen before. Kinda looks like Groucho Marx! Connie is a mini shar pei. She's very short and stocky.

Connie doesn't particularly like being by herself. She's much happier when she's with another dog or person.

Connie is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on prevention and is microchipped.

Connie is looking for a new home where she will be loved and cared for. Are you that family?

3/19/06: Sophie went to her new home yesterday in Adams TN. A cute story about Sophie - yesterday at church Larry told the preacher that they were adopting a little Chinese girl. Later the preacher said to Mona, "I didn't know y'all were adopting a Chinese baby girl." Mona laughed and told him it was a Chinese baby girl DOG. Larry's a real hoot. Sophie will share her home with Li. Mona and Larry have adopted 3 times from us. First was Bubba (aka Andy). Bubba passed away several months back. Then they adopted Li and now Sophie.

UPDATE 5/6/08: Sophie is finally getting acclimated to us and her new environment.  She'll let Larry take her out now, but still won't come to him when he calls.  She aggravates the snot out of Li all the time!!  He'll take it for awhile, then chase her out of the room.  They have a major “play time” in the morning after breakfast that's funny to watch.  I try to keep them apart because it worries me with so much activity after eating that one of them will have a problem like Bubba had.  They are best buddies!!

7/22/08: Cindy, I’m so sorry I don’t stay in touch more.  Larry and I both look at the website regularly – sometimes daily.  Sophie and Li are doing wonderful.  They are both getting a little older and have slowed down some, but they are relatively healthy (Shar Pei fever, you know).  They have a wonderful life with us, and we have a wonderful life because of them.

I read over the 10 commandments (and cried like a baby), but felt joy in knowing that all of our pets, both here and gone on, have been given the best life we could possibly give them.  Larry and I, like you and lots of other pet owners I know, feel like we have 2 kids – not 2 dogs – in fact, we call them our “kids.”  They are one of the biggest and best parts of our lives. 

Keep up your wonderful work with our beloved Shar Pei. Mona
