About the Photo: Cinn is a 7 1/2 year old Papillon. We adopted her from a breeder of show dogs. The only life she knew was kennel to 30 minutes of exercise to grooming table. It took us weeks to get her to come out of a kennel and stay out for any length of time. Now she hates going into the kennel but loves to lie in my closet. She knows what she wants when she wants it and has so much personality now it's hard to remember the shy dog she was 5 years ago when we got her. ? - Les
