Jill started life out in a puppy mill in Oregon; where she was kept in a kennel and bred when she came in heat. The kennel was finally “raided” and friends that knew we had just lost one of our Griffs called and ask if we could give a forever home to one of the females.  Very shy, very thin and with a few other problems Jill was given to us. She became my shadow and I felt very privileged to think that she loved me. We had her for 9 ‘wonderful’ years and at 14 she was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous tumor in her vulvae. The doctors tried several things but we lost her the day after Christmas.  I will never forget her. She was very special.
