Missy is a dear, tiny little froglette. Only fourteen pounds, she is just the right size to go with you anywhere. Happy to have the company of people, she isn't clingy or demanding at all. She's the kind of friend it's most comfortable to spend time with—silences aren't loaded with unspoken weightiness, there's no need for constant building up of ego or esteem—a dog who values her people, but does not fawn over them.

Originally adopted as a retiree from a backyard breeding operation, Missy is independent around people and is very intolerant of other dogs. Missy's adopter couldn't bring Missy to admit that the other animals in her home had a right to exist, so she regretfully surrendered Missy to us for rehoming.

Missy fancies herself a mini-lion when she chases the birds in her backyard, and she stalks and pounces, catlike, on anything that moves. A seasoned stuffie-sucker, she licks the hair right off her stuffed animals, and invariably leaves them deplushed and quite chilly looking, poor things!

Because she's so independent, Missy would be happy to stay at home while you go to work. She's paper trained, which can be handy, but you may want to rethink your habit of dropping the Sunday paper in an imprecise or vaguely defined mound upon the floor! She is fairly well housebroken which means she's willing to use the outdoor facilities if she is let out, but she's not good about notifying the management when nature calls.

Having been crated too long and too often, on the whole Missy would rather not be crated. Do you blame her? Leave her in a nice secure area with potty papers and some stuffies and she'll while away the time until you return. It is possible she could easily be litter-pan trained as well.

We think Missy would be very happy in just about any setting, provided she is an only pet. She's not much of an athlete, though she does enjoy doing her 'Frenchie as Lion' performance piece. So a fenced yard would be nice, but isn't required. A moderate little stroll around the condo property or along the boulevards of a city would be enough exercise for her. She'd be a fine office companion, content to quietly denude hapless stuffies while you labor to bring home the bacon. Missy likes bacon! If you are a road warrior, she'd fit so nicely under your seat, she could easily fly with you.

She's so easy to keep, so easy to love. If you'd like to be considered as a best friend for petite Missy, stock up on those stuffies and prepare to travel to Alabama, with or without a banjo on your knee. Missy will not be shipped.
