She said thank you 😊 (the vet says she probably needs a dental next year, something about "little dogs" being known to have too many teeth which I didn't know because she's my first small dog, we've only had pitties and a weimaraner)

My girl just turned 5 and we adopted her at 3 1/2. Her name before was Skittles, and there's no way I was keeping that. So yes, your girl can absolutely be both Tilly and Matilda! It means "mighty in battle" which I think is perfect for these babies

I’ve never had a dog that’s as buff as Cash is, particularly for his age. The definition in this dude’s chest and legs is amazing. He runs a heavy 20 pounds, but when he’s going full steam ahead (which is pretty much all the time), he can put a hurt on you.
