Breeze and Beka sniffed her and then stood next to her in approval. I was enchanted by her. She is a tiny girl, 55 pounds, with beautiful amber eyes and so sweet! Her racing name was Carolina Spoon and she is 2 years old. She came home with us and began settling in. It took her a day or so to master the hardwood floor in our hallway, and she is still a little hesitant to walk on the scary tile kitchen floor!
