I'm not a dog person, but...

My kids are always asking us to get a dog. I keep saying no. We have 4 cats and I don't want to deal with a big dog running around the house, let alone out in the yard near the chicken runs.

Well today I was sifting through petfinder.org and I got sucker-punched by uber cuteness. If I could get this gal right now, I probably would. I've never seen a dog that just screamed "take me home". DH might not like that plan though.

That's adorable! Looks like there's some chihuahua in there too.

Looks like its spy name should be " the cuddleinator"

KellyHM, Goat_Walker and Stumpy! I agree!

(snuggles the Cuddleinator!)

Monarc, I'd have to do so much reading before we got a dog. I've never had one before. Potty training... aieee!

it can be frusterating esp with toy breeds in my experience medium sized and large dogs potty train a lot easier than the toy breeds. I honestly think the toybreeds just have a harder time holding thier bladder. Deffinatly research crate training. Many are against it...im one who's not.....my dog LOVES her crate and it's how I potty trained her....

Having a dog is a blessing for sure, im not a big dog person either, but I sitll love koda and enjoy puppies and others well behaved dogs

Koda is hyper but atleast she tries hard to please

I just got a puppy from petfinder too! I felt the same way you do, it was like a pull towards her. lol The only thing is this morning I got an email on what dogs and cats that are going to be killed this friday in NC, which really upset me. I wish I could save all of them!

here is our new baby!

Monarc, what an adorable dog! I'll keep the crate in mind. The listing said they've been training her with a crate.

tamelroy, awww. He looks like he's going to grow up to be a BIG puppy! - I decided a long time ago that I could never work in the Humane Society for exactly that reason. I'd go home crying practically every day due to having to put some animal to sleep.

Very cute puppy--I mostly see long-haired Chihuahua in her.

Just for the record, though, there's no such thing as an "AKC kennel" and any kennel that "breeds (so-called) hybrids" has nothing to do with the AKC other than to claim the association to appear to be legitimate.
