Bootsie Baby was picked up as a stray in L.A. She was shipped to Seattle with a load of other dogs to the Seattle Humane Society. We adopted her when she was about 3. We quickly learned that she was only 9 lbs but very feisty and a survivor. She would and did eat ANYTHING. She seemed to have suffered fear in her past life. It took a number of years for Bootsie Baby to open up to her full loving and sweet personality and she was a very precious Princess. Though she wasn't always nice to her "brother" Buckaroo Banzai, they did watch out for each other. When he passed away, Bootsie Baby had all the love and attention and seemed to thrive in that. She loved to give her mom kisses and hang out in her dad's vest.
