Oh your poor baby! How awful! Brandy was supposed to be a Lapsa-Poo, white. When I bought him they told me his father had "jumped the fence". His brothers looked like they had Lapsa, but Brandy definitely had Bishon or Maltese as his other half. He was the first dog I ever had. He let me cry into him the whole time my son was in Desert Storm, and was always there for me. I will never get over him. I had purchased a toy poodle [black] to keep him company while I was at work. She died last summer at age12 but was in full capacity. She just couldn't breath. That left me numb. I bought another toy poodle 3 wks after she died to try and replace the empty spot in my heart. I purchased a male, black[sheba was female], and Brandy was white and male. I figured I would get the opposite sex in the opposite color.[you'll figure it out]I named him Teddy. His AKC name is Teddy, Spirit of Brandy and Sheba. Would you believe he has turned color so part of him is silver. He truly is delivering me a message from doggy heaven. They are still with me. The only problem is he's not Brandy. He's the sweetest dog I've ever seen and all the neighbors are always commenting on it. I wish I could feel the same about him and it makes me feel guilty. Fondly, Phillipa
