I was brought up with boxers, and always wanted a 'big dog'...I thought little dogs were silly. Boy, was I ever wrong! I absolutely love little doggies today. I babysit a chihauha that I can't get enough of! What sweetness..it is the best of two worlds...the tininess of a cat, and the love of a dog!

I would follow your heart....I did, and now have a mammoth of a 'puppy' living with me and my SIX cats...it is heaven on earth, plus lots of hair.
