I'm Susan, a retired Media Specialist.  I decided to try blogging and throught it would be fun to search for interesting things for, and about, pets. 

Meet the Family

PetStuff Discovered family.

Pet Stuff Discovered

This is Rosie.  She joined the family in September 2012 after she was abandoned on an animal hoarder's porch. The note left with her said she was a 14 month old Maltese, but the vet said she was a 3 year old Maltese, Bichon Frise, Westie mix.  She believes she is a princess and we are her servants.  Rosie and mom just completed 3 refresher obedience courses at Wagging Willow and we're ready to start pet therapy training.

Pet Stuff Discovered

Chloe (grey) and Zoe (black) are littermates. We adopted them from the Humane Society when they were 4 months old.(October 2009). They're very cuddly and wonderful companions.  The only problem they have is why we brought a dog into the family!  It took an entire year before they would even get close to Rosie.  Now they just tolerate each other but they do take turns on my lap.
