I hope the photo shows up
After Maggie's passing my home was so empty and quiet for almost 2 months, I had not been "dogless" since my early 20s. Knew I had to find another one. Sons grandmother in law dog had puppies. I wasn't looking for a puppy but I blurted out I want one to son and so it happened. Totally mutt of various breeds, chi and terrier with a little shitzu in there, I brought him home he was only a pound of white fluff. Now at 8 months he is 4lbs 9oz. He is the funniest little guy, and so quiet. He barked a couple times, it's a tiny bark but mostly does a whimper to get your attention.
He's high maintenance, requires trips to the groomers to keep him looking dandy. He's a good puppy and seems pretty smart. He loves to bring the ball and have you throw it.

Oh my gosh he's adorable. I think I made it about 2 months after losing Peaches and getting Ty. A friend was so glad I got Ty because she said I was worse than a life long smoker quitting cold turkey. I know I was a wreck and am sure you were when you lost Maggie. I'm glad you've got this little bundle of fur now.

What a cute pup! So fluffy! Bet he is a good companion!
Sure wish Google would play nice! It would not let me view your photos unless I granted it full access to all my photos! That’s why It would not work on older iPad! Grrr Nosey Google!
So happy you found a new friend.

I don't know what's up with Google, I can't remember how to post a pic so it just shows up.
I'm open to help in that dept

So adorable! Does he get dirty pretty fast, being white and fluffy?

Barbie, he does get dirty fast, his whiteness gets a tad grey and of course his face gets dirty too with food and eye goobers. He hates getting his face washed but it has to be done. I keep his fur short on his face. He does however enjoy his baths so he gets bathed often. About once a month he gets a doggy spa day for trimming. He doesn't shed though so that's a plus. He's also good about wearing the Crocs to keep his feet from burning on the hot pavement.

Where did you find Crocs for dogs?? I have been trying to find some kind of workable dog shoes/sandals for my Big Joe for years - I won't say how much money I have spent on this hunt, but was a lot more than chump change.

Ava do you (or anyone) have suggestions for dog shoes/sandals that actually stay on and that your dog doesn't mind wearing?

Thanks.
