Siena is a very dainty dog. I call her my “principessa” (Italian for princess), and that’s exactly what she is. She prances when she walks and is very delicate and gentle. She’s a very curious girl - her collie nose can be found just about anywhere! She loves people and praise, even more so if the person and praise comes with a treat! |

In Memory |
Today I lost my little princess, my girl, my Siena. Siena was such a dainty dog—really a little princess. I know we were blessed with extra time when she beat heart failure. It was like a miracle! Although, I STILL wanted more time I have been SO PROUD of Siena—being a therapy dog, a R.E.A.D. dog, and she was so BEAUTIFUL!. She even came to Momma’s school more than once. |
