UPDATE 6/17: Tiny recently had her luxating patella surgery. Her knees were quite bad, but are now fixed! Tiny is doing very well after her knee surgery so far. She will be on very limited activity (just short potty walks) until her re-check on June 23 at the vet. Then she will, according to her discharge instructions be on only short leash walks for 2 months. She has been so good about it all. She just started to bear some weight on that leg today, otherwise has been only using three legs on the potty walks. She will be on the pain meds and antibiotics a few more I can see she is a great dog but as you mentioned she probably would be happiest being an only dog as she is very possessive about her food, toys and her bed.

Sadly, Tiny was found left alone with Smokie. She was not crated. Her owner passed away and a family member called BP&SBR to help them.

Tiny is a very sweet girl. However, she was very frightened when found. She barked,stomped her feet and took a few steps backwards. She had no idea who these strange people were. She did not like them coming into her home without her mom being there. She is now very sweet but still gets a bit startled by strangers. She does NOT bite but only barks for a bit until she knows who they are. She loves to snuggle and is very well behaved in the home! Tiny would be a great companion for an older person and calm environment. She behaves well with children, however would do better with grand kids, nieces, nephews, etc. Children coming in and out and new friends would cause her to stress. She is very loving! She also is fine with other dogs, however does not like them approaching her. She would do best with an older dog or as an only dog. She probably would not appreciate a young playful dog. She also is a tad overweight and should loose a

few pounds. She seems accustomed to being fed table food. She actually gets excited and begs for it. This habit needs to be broken.! Otherwise, she is a very easy, sweet girl!
