Sparkle is 10; she will be 11 in October. I adopted her from the city pound when she was 4 months old. She had been born there; her mom and littermates all were adopted and she got stuck there. She was showing signs of kennel depression. Well, all that ended when I brought her home! She has been through many of life's ups and downs with me! And after 6 years, she still won't give Dad the time of day; she is a real mommy's girl!
