Ivy
She started it all. We bought her from a breeder in Europe. We saw her picture and fell in love. When we picked Ivy up at the airport we were met by the cutest puppy we had ever seen (no prejudice here). We took her out of the flight crate and she started to run between our legs entwining us like a vine, hence her name, IVY!
Mazie
Next came our wonderful Mazie Mae. After we got her home I knew there was something wrong and dashed her to our vet. She had patent ductus arteriosus which means basically a leaky heart vessel. We immediately took her to Tufts University where she was the first three pound pup to have a spring inserted into the opening of the leak and it worked. Mazie passed with flying colors. We then had her spayed so she could not pas on this heart defect to another generation. Mazie holds a very special place in our hearts.
