Oh and we just got a puppy who is also a Tibetan Terrier. She is a pain....but of coarse I am still The Queen around here. My Sister Maddy & I and yes our Mom & Dad live in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada six months of the year and Naples, Florida the rest of the year. My Mom loves to cook and she is constantly on the internet looking for ideas and also has a library of cookbooks. Oh and by the way my Mom cooks us all our meals and also our doggie treats.
