Emily, one-and-a-half years old, cream colored, short-haired, except for a thin ruff around her neck, giving her a Queen Victoria look. Small head, long body, long legs, weighs about 9 pounds; likes Pentium III commercials, Teletubbies and Marmite.

According to the dog pound, she's half chihuahua and half pomeranian, therefore a Chiranian. I suppose if she'd had long hair she'd have been a Poma-who-uh. Hyper is too calm a word for her.

My very elderly Spitz, who is deaf and nearly blind is not amused, but I believe it is Emily's annoyance factor that keeps Misty going -- and me, too.
