I'm Annabel Lee. You can see me here with my friend, Julius. He's the dog on the left. I'm a black and tan MinPin with white markings ("socks") on all of my paws. Julius is mostly a MinPin, but has a bit of chihuahua in him, too. We hang out together and get into all kinds of wonderful mischief. We're both rescue dogs. Julius is about 3 years old and was found in an animal shelter; my age is unknown and I was abandoned by my former owner. Now we're part of a nice "forever" family with some other dogs, including a big goofy Basset Hound who seems to tolerate our antics with everlasting patience. The small, brown object near me is my beloved sock monkey, which I have now loved to tatters. The loveseat we're lying on was "customized" to shreds by a foster Dachshund. But dogs make our human companions so happy that they don't really mind the incidentals, like uttterly destroyed furniture.
