This is my favorite doggie in the universe! Her name is Mandy, also called "Nandy" because my kids used to have a hard time with the "m" sound. :0) Mandy is five days older than my oldest child - yep! 5 days! Her birthday is May 27, 1995 and Carrie was born June 1, 1995. Mandy was my 20th birthday present from Aaron. He went out for pizza on my birthday for dinner and came home with a 1/2 pound Nandy on top of the pizza box. She was about as big as a tennis ball and I instantly fell in love with her. She has been with me since July 28, 1995. I almost lost her to parvo in September of the same year, but she pulled through and has never been sick since! She will be 15 next week and is still very healthy, although her vision and hearing are starting to slip.Little Nan loves to chase the chickens in the yard. At first, when they were so little, we were very cautious and didn't allow Mandy to chase them. Now that they are older, she is quite helpful chasing them to the coop for us. :0) I know the time is coming that I will lose my Little Nan, as she can't live forever, but I am so thankful for her and her bright spirit. She truly is this "woman's best friend".
