My obsessions, Sheila and Gizmo (a Boston/ Yorkie mix)

Sheila (a.k.a. Pigpup) is about 6 years old and, in my eyes, the most perfect creature to ever walk this earth. I always had dreams of having a mini pot belly pig and she fits the bill. She snores, snorts, snuffles, struts, and pitter patters around the house. She loves sun bathing and very specific tender shoots of grass (which she chews Huck Finn-style). Her smile is bigger than her face and snuggling is her specialty. My dad picked her from the litter because of her beautiful blue eye.

Gizmo (a.k.a. Gizzy or Bug) is my recently adopted, pint-size, Boston/ Yorkie, he's just 7 months old and a source of absolute joy; I fell in love with him at 1st sight. He's a complete sweetie pie and very protective of his mommy. He doesn't even need a leash because he just likes to stay near even when he explores. He has a natural mohawk, a Pomeranian-like curly tail with a white tip,and his "angler furs" (what I call the hairs that fall in front of his nose) just keep me smiling. They both sleep with me and love to spoon and snuggle.
