Well, we went and did it. We are officially dog owners. We decided on a sweet little 12 week old Cavachon (Bichon Frise/King Cavalier Spaniel). He does not shed and will only be about 10-12 lbs full grown. My wonderful mother went with me to pick him up and we both thought he was precious when we first saw him. WARNING: don't go look at a dog unless you are prepared to leave with one. We decided to name him Max. We've had Max for about a week and so far I would describe having him as having a new baby with fur, however he is a really good baby with fur. He is mostly house trained and 100% crate trained. He has a wonderful disposition with the kids and they really enjoy him. Ian is the most happy with him, as he has been wishing for a puppy for quite some time. Overall, we are really happy with our decision and I think we're pretty lucky to have such a well behaved little guy. I'm still reading a borrowed copy of "Cesar's Way" by Cesar Millan to educate myself and the family on what really makes dogs happy so we'll hopefully have an adult dog who knows his place and "doesn't take over our life." The only thing he has taken over so far is our hearts!
