Maddie came into our home in 2004 the day before her 10th birthday. We had recently lost our Benji and decided to foster another dog before adopting again. But as often happens, we couldn't part with her, so we adopted her and pampered and spoiled her for three years. She had many medical and behavioral issues that we dealt with, but she was a real lover and cuddler and made up for it with her sweetness. We lost her in August 2007 and will truly miss her.
