I used to have my heart set for owning big dogs, and only big dogs, until I adopted my 18 pound pug. Oh my gosh is she cute! I can hardly stand it! I am so much more open minded now about little dogs I just took her to a pet supplies store near me and bought her a little sweater You can't have a little dog without buying a sweater when winter comes And there's nothing better then putting her in the kitchen sink when she needs a bath, no back strain and oh, how easy! I still adore big dogs but my mind has opened to little dogs
