Twiggy is our new Italian Greyhound (not to be confused with a normal greyhound). She’s around two years old (we don’t know for sure) and she has a major case of Attention Deficit Disorder. Fully grown, she’s only ten pounds.

Twiggy Hello, my name is Twiggy

We’re working around the clock to get her house trained. Apparently her previous owners didn’t know how to take good care of her. She pretty much won’t do her thing outdoors, prefering the comfort of the indoor accomodations. Also, if you look closely, you’ll see she has stitches above one eye. She used to live in a yard with a terrier and a Rotweiler. Rotweilers are playful.

Overbite
I have a major overbite so my tongue hangs out a bit.

Despite the accident with the Rotweiler, she still is very friendly to other dogs and people, and has an insatiable curiosity.

Adoption Day
This is my mom Akumi on the day I was adopted

We have an excercise pen for her as IGs are not supposed to be left unattended in the house. They are superb climbers, and even better at falling and breaking a leg. When I take her for a walk, she tries to get into everything.


I like to sniff everything.

Well thanks for saying hi to the newest member of our family.
