But they could hear Tiggie crying from her cage during the meet-and-greet. Sis said, “You know you can’t leave that sad sister here!” So it became a package…
I thought you might like an update. Some things were very clear from the first: he has a wonderful attitude, is very energetic and friendly, and he and my Sasha both decided to be best friends. See attached picture. Thanks for a wonderful dog! ~ Joanna
