💕 **BBF Frankie's Itsy Bitsy Pearl — Affectionately Known as "Teeter"** 💕
This one is going to be especially hard for me. ❤️
For those of you who have loved our Frankie babies over the years, I'd like to introduce you to one of his beautiful daughters, **BBF Frankie's Itsy Bitsy Pearl**, whom I so fondly call **Teeter**.
Teeter just celebrated her 5th birthday on October 17th, and she is now officially retired from our breeding program. She's given us some absolutely incredible puppies over the years, many of whom have gone on to do some wonderful things. I'm so proud of what this girl has contributed to Butterball Kennel.
But what makes Teeter especially dear to my heart has nothing to do with her puppies or her pedigree. **She reminds me so much of my beloved Turtle.** ❤️
Some of you who have known me for many years may remember Turtle. She was my heart dog, my shadow, and one of those once-in-a-lifetime dogs that leaves an imprint on your soul long after they're gone. There is something about Teeter that brings those beautiful memories flooding back, and perhaps that's why I'm having such a difficult time with the thought of letting her go.
Teeter absolutely LOVES people! She thrives on human affection and companionship, and I truly believe she would be happiest in a home where she could soak up all the love and attention she deserves. While she has always been good with other females, my preference would be a home with a male companion if there is another dog in the household. I would also be perfectly happy to see her become someone's one-and-only spoiled little princess! 💕
**I'm not quite ready to send her off just yet.** She will still need to be spayed before leaving, but I'm trying to plan ahead and hopefully find that very special person or family who will be the perfect fit for her.
When you've spent years raising, loving, and caring for these dogs, they become so much more than just part of a breeding program. They become part of your heart and your everyday life. And some, like Teeter, hold an extra-special place.
My greatest wish is to find someone who will love this girl as much as I do and give her the wonderful retirement she so richly deserves.
Adoption Fee: $500 (will include being spayed, dental, UTD vaccines)
**If you think you might be that special person, I'd love to hear from you.** ❤️
