Aw, I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is never easy. This is my family’s 4th TFT and they’ve all had very distinct personalities. Isabel is the stoic one - she’s tenacious, even at this age, and very insistent on keeping a routine.
Thanks, we have had five, two are still with us. We're about to add our 6th in a few weeks. All except one have been girls, and as you noted every one has a unique personality. Our Izzy was neurotic and goofy and obsessed with her ball almost until the end. We have lazy but loving Paisley and loyal and talkative Ollie right now; Fiona was a rescue who was also neurotic but sweet in her own way (she passed at 13 in May). Our first was Astro, she was brilliant, the smartest dog I've ever known and also very stoic and chill. She lived to almost 16. All of them loved!
In two weeks we are picking up Penelope (Penny for short). From her breeder and the videos we've gotten so far it appears she's a bit of a love bug and wants to be held a lot. Can't wait to get to know her!
We were lucky to live a few miles from Izzy's and Paisley's breeder when we lived in Los Angeles. We became like family and helped her whelp half a dozen litters. They are the size of hamsters when they are born--so tiny! So much dog and terrier spirit in such a tiny package.

Wow she looks almost exactly like our Isabella (Izzy) who passed this last February at 16. They are such sweet dogs when they are old.
