MEET MIDNIGHT….and it’s really difficult photographing a black dog! This black with tan, 6-7 yr old, 18.5 lb, Lhasa Terrier ?? who doesn’t shed and acts like a puppy, is a doll.  Looked like a Lhasa in the shelter (see below) but like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get (under all that hair).  She is a little bigger than our average pup, and her breed is a little of a mystery to us, but she is a cutie pie.  Just look at her shelter pic (yes, that is her paw):

Midnight came from the Palmdale Shelter a total mess….including foxtails, dog lice and two small mammary tumors.  As always, all was addressed at our vet and she is good as new!  She is a very active girl, loves to fetch toys…doesn’t always bring them back!  She is uber affectionate and gives lots of kisses.  One thing, she likes to slip out the door/car behind you, so you need to be careful.  As active as she is, when she gets in the car, if she doesn’t have her head out the window, she settles down nicely and seems to love going for rides!  Midnight loves her walks and to explore everywhere.  If we had to guess her background, she was bred several times and then ignored and maybe even let go on the street.  We say this because she will circle garbage containers on walks looking for scraps or anything that will go into her mouth.  Her condition (matted to the bone and an old injury to her bottom eyelid) was abusive and had to be painful, yet she has never complained.  She will whimper occasionally to get your attention, but it is not intrusive.  But…when she is in a new environment she will bark, so apartment living might not be the best for her.

Midnight’s potty training is pretty good — she will go on a pp pad if she doesn’t go outside or hold it — but no guarantees at your house.  She acts like a young dog, loves to zoom around and rearrange things (will make you a better housekeeper) but her favorite thing is being with you.  As long as you don’t leave her alone all day, she doesn’t need another dog — just wants you!  Does she sound like a sweetheart who could steal your heart!?
