I created the card chosen for DOD today to look like our girl for her to give to her Daddy and some friends who adore Zia - who knew it would be given this fun acknowledgment?

Zia will be 3-yrs-old tomorrow!
 
It's been a long and often trying road to the wonderful dog she is today. We rescued her as a 7-month old stray who had never been taught even the basic manners and who had clearly had her heart broken more than once. She was nearly emaciated when we got her and desperate for love. Needless to day she's healthy, happy and loved beyond words now.
 
DNA test results says she's 50% pit bull and 50% 17 other breeds. They say terriers are terrorists because they are defiant and stubborn - I can attest to that being true! LOL!
 
So thank you, GCU, for giving this girl a little front page attention - she LOVES it!

Wonderful story, Doreen! There is nothing more heartwarming than the "tail" of an innocent animal rescued and now living a stellar life!
Happy Birthday to Zia! Congratulations on the DOD!
