Hello Shelby Lou, What a cute girl you are! I'd like to hug you . (I love rat terriers; my present dog is rat-chihuahua, very sweet & friendly. Before that, I had a full rat terrier, a sweet smart little girl. I'm sure you will enjoy your Shelby immensely.) Shelby, I can just see you now playing with your dog brothers and having a great time and not giving an inch. It sounds as if you have a wonderful home and are loved... and sleeping with your human (you've got it made Girl!) You're just getting started in life and I hope you and your family have many years together. Congrats on being DOTD! Kay in NC
