My name is Madison, but I'm a boy. My mom was going to get a girl dog, but I was too cute to resist, and her friend told her city names are unisex...and if you make fun of me I'll nip your nose! I was almost called Rosstopher, and I'm really glad I wasn't because how embarrassing would that be with her yelling that at me across a beach or park?
Actually, my full name is Madison Chandler. I'm a purebred Shih-Tzu, though when I run I'm told I look like a big guinea pig or a rabbit. My mom says I'm also kind of like those things in scary movies; you know, the teenage girl is alone in a dark house, and all of a sudden, wherever she goes, this thing pops up and startles her: I like to follow you wherever you go, even if it's just two feet away, for five seconds, and then you're back to the first place again.
I'm brand new: eight months old and the size of a newborn baby, but I'm scrappy.
