Fluffy Old Me

Hello My Darlings, I am Contessa Ziva Natalia Ballerina. I am a 3 lb. Maltese with style, grace and pizzaz. Yes I am a diva but I am not a prissy little

girl. This is my place. Come and chat with me and get the 411 on all things k9 and owner. Let's Have Some Fun!!!

My mama and I got together and decided that we would like to be able to bring information about dogs and the dog world to the people and their pets. We want to have fun too. One of the important reasons is to educate the world about the poor dogs who are not as lucky as me and are dams and sires, bred and born along with sold in puppy mills and back yard breeders. We really think that this should be stopped. It is just not right. Also all the dogs in shelters. Some shelters are not so friendly. They are not no-kill shelters. They are there to get rid of the dogs. That is so sad. I will bring you good news too. Cute pictures. Snack and Toy ideas. You can write and tell me ideas too. How fun is that. So, come on what are you waiting for. Let's Go Blogging!!!!!!
