Comments on this photo had us laughing just as hard…

“As a member of the Alba High class of 94, this is accurate.”

“Who is this legend and can I apprentice?”

🐶This Baby Needs A Family….😺

From Wags and Whiskers:
“Momma CeeCee is the sweetest girl around. She came to us months ago after delivering 4 beautiful babies. Her babies have found their homes and it's time for CeeCee to find hers. This girl is a true companion. She finds her person and bonds hard. She wants to be with you at all times and is the perfect lap baby. She's chill and cuddly. She doesn't mind other animals and hasn't had any issues with kids. She's great indoors, in a crate and on a leash. She is simply perfection. CeeCee is 4-5 years old and 25 lbs. She is a standard Chiweenie mix. She is utd, hw tested and spayed. Click here to fill out an adoption application.”
