          first brought Munchkin home, she did all of her business on the 
          floor!  No matter how many times I brought her outside these accidents 
          kept happening.  For the first two weeks we basically lived outdoors!  
          She did have an excuse.  When I brought her to the vet, her spay 
          operation was causing some concern and pressure and she was just 
          trying to relieve the pressure.  I would tell everyone who adopts a 
          new pet to hang in there.  She has been well worth the effort of those 
          first few weeks.
           
          
          
           
           
          Now 
          Munchkin is my social calling card.  She is well loved wherever she 
          goes.  She has travelled with me (on a plane) to New Brunswick and 
          Nova Scotia.  Everyone in my condo loves her.  She has made great 
          friends with everyone at the sailing club and is just the most popular 
          dog around.
           
           
          
          
           
           
          I thank 
          God everyday that I found her.  Please keep up the great work!

Update 
          April '12 ...
          
          
          Most animals adopted from shelters don't have a birthday.  When I 
          adopted Munchkin (aka Nicole) in September of 2008, she was thought to 
          be about a year and a half old.  Now that she is in or around five 
          years old, I thought it was time for a birthday party!  A good 
          time was had by all!  The humans had ice cream cake while Munchkin had 
          specially made dog birthday cookies just for her.
           
           
          
          
          
 
          
          
          Instead of bringing gifts, Munchkin asked her guests to bring money to 
          support Georgette.  Munchkin is usually frightened of big dogs but 
          when she heard Georgette's story, she knew she had to help.  Here are 
          some pictures of the great event.
           
           
          
          
          
          
 
           
          
          
          A cheque will be in the mail shortly totalling $100.00.  Munchkin's 
          friends are generous!
