More: I discovered Toula and 4 litter mates in a tiny Texas farm town where my mother grew up, now famous for roaming herds of wild boars. On the drive home to California with the 5 9-week old pups, I fell for Toula and her sister Trudy. While Trudy loves everyone and is a perpetual clown, Toula is truly mine - obedient, protective, and in my lap whenever possible.
