We got Max at the shelter. I took him for a "test walk" and he saw an open truck door and pulled me off of my feet to get into that truck! I knew I had to have him.

We got the chihuahuas when my mother became too ill to care for them and I agreed to take them home and housebreak them. I made it clear I had no interest in keeping them. My husband, my kids and I all fell in love with them. It looks like we're keeping one or both of them.

We got Jake from a breeder. I wasn't conscious of the dog overpopulation problem at the time.
