''My Dogs name is Paddy RIgney and he is 8 + 1/2 year old Papillon he is a small dog with a massive personaility, he loves wearing clothes as you can see by the pose in these photos !! and he trotts when he wears any dog clothes, all his wardrobe has been given to him as presents because anyone that meets him, even people who are not dog lovers fall in love with his cute, loving personaility and sit for hours as they watch him play with bones and teddy.  He has brought so much love into the lives of everyone who has met him.  He is a dog that loves food so Christmas Time I think is his favourate as he gets to get plenty or turkey and ham doggy bags.  So he has dressed up to show all the little boys and girls out there that animals too look forward to Santa arriving at Christmas.  Paddy wants to win this competition as he does not like when we go on holiday and leave him behind and the most luxury holiday he has been on was camping in Kerry so this would be a real treat for him and our family'' Shirley.

Calcium Carbonate puppy... Tora's story
 
About a year and a half ago, Tora got sick.
We went vet after vet after vet, trying to find out what was wrong with her.
She had seizures, so it was thought she epileptic. But the treatments was ineffective.
Each fit left her little body weaker..
Each new vet was puzzled with her.
They'd send her home again. Thinking they had cured her.
But no..She'd continue to seizure
All hope was lost at this point..
I didn't want her to suffer. So ,of course the next option was for her to be put to sleep..
But we tried one last time. We couldn't give up!!
my brother paid for her to go to a animal clinic cork. Two months she was gone.
they finally diagnosed her.
Tora is one of the rare rare cases,(i think there's actually two in Ireland.)
Her parathyroid gland  located in her neck doesn't work...
Which controls the amount of calcium in the body
Tora's lack of calcium made her seizure!!!
She now takes two rennie(yes for heartburn) and vitamin each day.
Tora is famous around where I live and has more personality than most acquire in an entire lifetime.
People are still shocked by her when they see how smart she is.!
She had so many visitors when she was sick.
My friends are her friends.
She's a unique and wonderful dog!..
She's a hell of a fighter!
I wouldn't trade her for the world - Chelsea
