Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but consider this.lovely story.. perfect name for a little girl
They are very loyal to their “human” and all those in their circle but fierce and protective. My BIL is wheelchair bound and his wife, my sister, and I got puppy Mikey as a gift.. they are a bonded pair. When the 3-year old granddaughter visits however, Mikey is out of bounds. Their small size belies the fierce spirit so small children beware..![]()
