I also would like to welcome Subwayseries to Pet Talk and it is especially nice to have one more guy in the mix. Sometimes we get carried away from the female perspective.

Although I do believe our next dog (if we outlive the ones we have) will be a bit smaller, like Pam, I don't know if I would feel comfortable with one is so small that it appears to be fragile. Also the lifting of a smaller dog would be the advantage, yet I'm wondering about the increased difficulty of getting down and back up from their level.
