They just gave me a pitbull puppy, she is 45 days old. Looking for names I wasn't passionate about the ones I looked at. I found this name Shira and I fell in love with it and that is what my beautiful little puppy will be called. Greetings from Venezuela Maracaibo.

My dog's name is Shira and she is 14 and a half years old... she is the smartest dog I have ever met... but she is also very stubborn and affectionate... I love her madly... she is my queen... The princess of my house... is with 3 other dogs, but she is special because she is the grandmother of the pack...
