Her full name is Anastasia, but we call her Tasia for short. We chose her name together, she and I...
I was doing some final picking up and preparing for my friend Patti's dinner visit, and as I was cleaning Mendy's father showed up at the door with a bottle of wine, asking if I could use a glass of wine? Far be it from me to turn down free wine, so I said "Sure!" and he came in... with Mendy's mom right behind, a large black carrying bag over her shoulder. She set it down on the livng room floor, unzipped the top, and up popped this little orange head and pointed ears. Suddenly thinking that we were being given a tabby cat, I called for Mendy, who was outside on the patio. Turns out she was in on it...
For just this quickly, Mom scooped up this little ball of fur and put it in my arms... these full little dark eyes looked up at me, a little puppy kiss on the nose later... that was it. The first Christmas present of 2006 was delivered and opened... and cherished.
This little ball of tan fur has filled the puppy vacancy quite wonderfully... and here is her story in pictures. Please welcome Tasia Gannon...
Tasia choosing her new mommy on the "meet me" first visit...

The puppy pictures...
Before she came to be my new canine companion, she was Bobbie Sue, mild-mannered Pomeranian puppy in a cute little Pom litter, waiting for the opportunity to make someone very, very happy... Can you find her in these pictures!
Thanks to Carol for these very special pictures!
