Hi. I'm pretty new here, but I thought I would let you know about my pups.

I have two dogs, Speak and Mazie.

Speak is a 2 yr. old pekingese/poodleX and weighs about 6lbs. Here's a picture of him:

Unfortunately Speak is a petstore dog. I know, buying from a pet store is the worst place to get a dog. And even before I bought Speak, I was anti-pet stores. Anyway, I went in to get some fish food and walked by the puppy cages. There was this huge cage filled with shredded paper and in the corner and very tiny ball of blonde fur. I couldn't resist - I asked to hold him. I LOVED his personality. I played with him for a while, letting him run around the "puppy play room" and every time I told the clerk that I needed to get going, he would bring me another toy as if to say "No, don't leave me here by myself." I went home and told my husband about him and we went back the next day to look at him and he did the same toy thing again. So we took him home with us. He's now my baby boy and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Mazie is our newest addition:

She's 3-4 months old, weighs about 8 lbs and is a rat terrier/doxieX. We started looking for a second dog on petfinder.com and I found a rat terrier and her litter of 6 pups. The rescue that had her seemed to do everything right, they found a home for mom, but didn't send her there until her pups were weaned (mom and the pups were dropped of in a rubbermaid container on the rescue door step, the pups were about 5 wks. old at the time). The puppies were checked and helped by a vet and then ready for adoption around 10wks of age. We went to meet the litter and the rescue worker openend the door of her house and out tumbled a pile of puppies. We had picked out a little tri-color and were going to take her home but Mazie just kept following us around. She seperated herself from the litter and followed us everywhere. The little tri like us but was more interested in her sibblings, so we figured that we better take Mazie home or she's just going to follow our car home anyway. So that's how Mazie came to live with us.
