| Keela was a surprise to my family and me.
I was out for a drive in Shubenacadie, NS on a beautiful Sunday afternoon
in April when a woman walking a little puppy caught my eye.
I pulled the car over and was asking her about the little bundle she was
walking. It ended up that her mother had the litter and there were 3 pups
left. I got her phone number and at
that point I was destined to see the rest of these puppies!
I tried to contact her on the following Monday and there was no answer.
I tried again the next day and I got in touch with her.
I saw the litter that evening and there were 4 males and 1 female.
The family was keeping 2 of the males, so I chose the female.
She was a jet black little ball of fur. |

One
week passed before my brother came up with a name that suited her.
He mixed my name and my boyfriend's name to come up with Keela.
I think it suits her.

| Keela’s
mother was a Lhasa Apso who wandered too far away from home to visit the Terri-poo
next door. We had a feeling that
she would look a lot like a Lhasa, but never thought that her jet-black fur
would go salt and pepper coloured. Some
people say that she’s got an aging disease, I just think she’s beautiful!
Keela
started out her obedience in a puppy socialization class at the local vet in
Fall River. Upon completion, I
really wanted to continue with obedience and when the 8 week course was over, we were asked
about getting into flyball. “Flyball?
What’s that?” I had no
idea what the sport was.

It’s
now been 5 months since Keela first started flyball and we LOVE it.
She was in her first tournament on May 26 & 27 and lets just say that
she TRIED. Oh well, we’re not
discouraged. We’ll get back on
track and she’s going to be a great little height dog!
Keela
loves other dogs and she really likes to go swimming. Keela shares her home with Leco, a Shitzu, but Leco is 9
years old and DOES NOT like Keela’s foolishness.

| She goes everywhere with me.
Its not too often I go anywhere without her. She's my little
sidekick! |
