Gracie is a 3 lb. teacup Chihuahua- she's Blondie's litter-mate and sister. After Blondie passed away Carol had such a hard time dealing with it she decided to get Gracie after she was offered by the original owner. Blondie had been such a central part of our little household that her departure left us all with big holes in our souls and a silence we couldn't get over (Blondie was my bodyguard and protector, barking at the window and door to make sure the noises of the night and all the unknown people knocking on our door didn't get past her).
So far Gracie isn't a barker, but perhaps as she settles in she'll find her voice. In the meantime Rudy Puppeh Boy has found a new love, Carol is happy, Lucy Pretty Kitteh hasn't made up her mind, and I have a little piece of Blondie's soul back in my heart.
Sorry about the quality of the pic- her color doesn't seem to register well, or perhaps it's just me. Time will tell.
