My original was a classic, her "mate" was a red/brown with white and black accent marks, then we had 3 litters and had about every combination possible, except greys. A few years ago, my ex and I got another RT (true toy) as we'd lost our original by that time. She was Sweet Pea, and was mostly black, with white and tan accenting marks, but her greatest feature was the fact that she had 3 white paws and the front left was tan!!! My ex still has her. My newest baby is Arianna, and she is a "classic" with NO ACTUAL FUR SPOTS, just lots and lots of dark freckles on her skin!!! As I type this, she is curled up under my legs (against my backside) as I am reclining and she insisted on her favorite spot!!! LOL! You asked what color I prefer, and I'd have to say that as long as it's a RT and healthy (and female - I've NOT had good experience with the males {potty training/marking issues} so no more males!!!) I'm a happy camper!!!

I grew up with a red rat terrier named Feisty and absolutely adore the breed! Missi Lu looks a lot like Feisty. Which color do you prefer?

Have had RT's for past 16 years and will NEVER have another breed!!! Such wonderful, loving, loyal and easily trained dogs!!! In fact, I have a 5 mo old female that is just the current absolute love of my life!!!! I COMPLETELY understand your terror and sadness at finding Missi Lu in what you thought was her post life status! I had a female RT, Sadie Mae, that I had had since see first drew breath (she was one pup out of three litters that I'd bred when I was in Ohio.) Sadie was my shadow. If you saw me, you KNEW to look for Sadie Mae. Well time marches on for all of us, dogs included, and unfortunately at age 14.5 she suddenly turned sick, vet couldn't figure out what was wrong, nothing we did helped. I came home from church Sunday Feb 16, 2012, and found her to be in obvious distress. My ex and I loaded her up and off we went to the Emergency vets office. As I held her, I realized that I was hearing a death rattle in her breathing, and as we turned onto the road that would take us to the vets, I told her that I loved her, that I'd ALWAYS remember her and that it was ok for her to go if it was too hard for her to hang on. She took one more breath and was gone. As much as I HATED loosing her, I was thankful for the fact that she had gone out on her own. It was appropriate that I was the one with her when she came into this world, and I was the one holding her when she left it. Funny, I haven't cried over Sadie, since the day she passed, right now I can barely see due to the tears!!! My prayers will be with you that Missi Lu, when she crosses that rainbow bridge, will do so on her own, and that you do not have to make the gut wrenching decision for her. Thank you for sharing your photos, recipe and this ultimately, uplifting, story.
