About a week ago we adopted a puppy! My husband and I are self proclaimed “big dog” people. We grew up with large dogs and when we were first married we had a 75 lb lab mix. It has been years now since our first dog passed away and the kids have been wanting a dog. After much thought and an unsuccessful adoption of an older, medium sized dog a couple years ago who ended up not being kid-friendly, my husband and I decided that the best fit for our family right now would be a puppy that we could train and that could grow up with the kids. We also decided, even though the thought was a bit painful, that we needed a small dog--a dog that likely wouldn’t grow to be over 25 lbs. It isn’t that we don’t like small dogs. We love all dogs, we just have always had large dogs and are drawn to them. We wanted to adopt a puppy from a rescue if we could, so we started checking out the local sites regularly and last week a chihuahua mix puppy was posted as being available to adopt. So, we filled out the paperwork and went out to adopt our Teddy. Now that he’s been a part of our family for a week, I’ve learned that I love small dogs too! In no particular order, here are some things I love about our small dog:
We’re only a week into this new journey and it has been a great week! Welcome to the family Teddy! I’m sure I’ll be sharing more of our adventures with Teddy as time goes on. Until then, are you a small dog person or a large dog person?
