Noelle joined our family in December of 2002. She was/is ten years old, and very underweight. She also has a couple problems that may require surgical correction. However, we are slowly working to make everything right for her. She's put on some weight, her coat is softer, and her eyes have really started to shine. She is a total Daddy's girl. Noelle's got her dad completely wrapped around her little paw. She also loves to pose for the camera. :) She's a sweetie and a total ham.

So, without further ado.
I'd like to introduce you to Daddy's sweetie pie:

Here I am, with little Noelle at the airport.  She just launched herself out of her travel crate and into my arms.  Poor little sweetie had a very long flight coming to Saskatchewan from Ohio
Here I am with little Noelle at the airport. Poor little thing had a very long flight, and couldn't wait to get out of her crate. I was expecting her to be a little fearful, or shy, but this little girl completely launched herself out at me. *lol*

Noelle and her Daddy on her way home from the airport
As you can see, Noelle was already the apple of her daddy's eye. Here they are on our way home from the airport.

Here's Noelle in a nutshell...  this picture speaks volumes on who she is.
This picture really sums up Noelle's personality. She's such a goof. Hard to believe she's ten, she acts more like a silly pup than a senior.

*lol*  Noelle is such a ham.  :)  She keeps us laughing.

Here's Noelle with her favorite toy. It's a little, tiny, velvety soft, pink, squeaky, piggy.

Isn't she just a beautiful little girl?  It's hard to believe she's ten... she loves to play and run around as if she were still a pup.
Isn't she just the prettiest little girl ever? She's such a sweet girl, and a total charmer.
