I'm not quite ready to go to my new home.

DUNDAS, ON 

This is Tilly, an 18-pound, 4-year-old mini-poodle who arrived to SPIN a week ago with Pom and TJ. Stunningly pretty, long-legged (you should see her leap!) and extremely friendly, Tilly sleeps under the covers beside me in bed all night. She is more high-strung than Pom but is quickly settling in to her new world of household living -- and she is loving it! She has decided to protect my backyard from the neighbouring cat, alerting me to Casper's presence with barking. And she enthusiastically chases the young rabbit who comes regularly to nibble my grass. Tilly is a total cuddle-bug, wanting nothing more than to be on your lap watching tv or reading. Her housetraining (with resident SPIN alum Cocoa's instruction) is going very well. She is fine with other dogs, with children and with adults but mostly wants her own person who will be with her as much as possible (we see some separation anxiety). She has been to the vet for a wellness check and shots and will be spayed June 24. She should be available for adoption by the middle of July.
