My mom does something called cat rescue. Wanna see?

Hi, I'm Sammie. They call me a Chiweenie because I'm probably a mix of chihuahua and weiner dog. I live with Mom, Dad and three cats who were all rescued, like me. That's me with my best friend Mokie at the top. He's a chocolate point Siamese. The picture below is me with my pal Buddy, who lives with Nanny and Grampy, and under that is my neighbour Spencer with my bone. I was rescued from a shelter in Michigan and have lived with my folks since June 16, 2002. I weigh 10.2 pounds and sometimes Mom calls me the "ten-pound-terror".
Want to meet the Canadian Dachshund Rescue Group folks who rescued me? Check out their Web site. Tell 'em Sammie says hi.
