Gigi von Stadtilm is a delightful 3 year old Min Pin.  Her "complexion" is black and tan, so somehow she managed to masquerade as a shepherd when we rescued a group from the shelter.  "Wow, that was a close call," Gigi is thinking.  This housetrained lap dog wants your continuing attention.  If she hears you in an adjacent area but cannot see you, she will bark to beckon you her way.  Her big brown eyes express love and adoration towards her "person," and her steadily-wagging tail reminds you of how happy she is.  Little Gigi is good with small and large dogs -- for a while she was dating a huge German Shepherd man-about-town.  Gigi has one of those assertive feminine personalities that pioneered the way towards women's liberation.  She will make a wonderful, loyal companion to whomever stays at home with her, but would not be happy for long hours on her own.
