I'd never had a dog and had no interest in having one. But one day I saw this amazing creature who needed a home, and I fell in love. To say she was odd looking is an understatement. If I can find a picture of her then, I'll post it. Her coat was shiny and pure black. Her head was huge for her body and she had these tiny, short legs. When she curled up to sleep, she looked like an Olive. (I didn't name her, so that's the story I made up to explain her name. Works for me.) She isn't pure black any more; her undercoat is gold. She's still very odd looking in a pretty way. People just don't know what to make of her. Found the picture. It doesn't quite show how huge her head was compared to her body. But you'll get the idea.
