"Our names are Alex
and Annie, and we are “special needs” Jack Russells. We are both sixteen years old. I, Alex, being the dog in charge, will talk first. I was a much photographed “trick dog” until I had to have both eyes removed at the age of five. A genetic condition caused my world to go black. I, Annie, who really runs the place, have the nickname of Sybil. I was horribly abused before I was adopted, so my personality switches from very sweet to very nasty. I also developed rectal cancer five years ago. I survived, but have some awkward potty problems. Judy, the Wonder Sitter, somehow knows how to manage both of us. Our parents sometimes travel for two or three weeks, and Judy lives with us. We try to make things difficult for her, but she always manages to figure us out. We highly recommend her - but we get first dibs!"
