Punky, who lived most of her first decade in a puppy mill cage is learning how to be a dog. She was adopted from the puppy mill and fostered by a wonderful person for an unknown period of time. When that person became ill, UYR stepped up to help Punky and placed her with the Millers, a wonderful and dedicated foster family in Michigan.

So, we brought Punky home on September 14, 2014 and she is doing very well! But she's so funny, with crazy little unpredictable quirks that just melt your heart.

The whole time our Christmas tree was up this year, Punky paid no attention to it at all! Then, when we were folding up the velveteen tree skirt, Punky decided to "adopt" it, and we had a heck of a time trying to persuade her that it would make a reappearance next year!

So, despite our gentle attempts to dissuade Miss Punk from joining the tree skirt in the Christmas storage box, she persevered and, completely out of character for her, rode around our living room as Steve, her papa, took her on a "Sleigh Ride."
