Thank you SheltieLover 234. I visited that site and it was really a very neat and scientific to approach dog ownership. I have saved it to refer back to. I think I will wait until spring to do anything further about dog adoption. (It may take that long to "sell" my husband on a pug). I am also concerned that one of my cats will be nice to him or her. I remember my large tabby (22 lbs) used to enjoy playing with my standard poodle (45 lbs). I think being that a pug is closer to my cat's weight maybe the cat might have an advantage if there was a squirmish. Hope there wouldn't be any squirmishes but I know that's always a possibility. My other cat will get along with anyone or anything, but may hide in the basement for a day or two if I adopt a dog. He is sort of the original "scaredy cat." I will keep you posted. Here's another link that I found helpful when reviewing lots of different breeds: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm

Again, thank you all for your comments and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
