Sometimes I think I want a puppy. Someday. Definitely not while we’re still living in an apartment in the city though. Unfortunately that didn’t dissuade our neighbors who have two very yappie dogs that bark hysterically every time someone gets off the elevator on our floor. When we were moving in one of the dogs barked so much that by the end of the day it was hoarse, but still croaking out pathetic noises through the door. I forgive them though. They’re really cute dogs.
To aid in my puppy research I took the Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector quiz and it gave me 56 choices. Out of those results my favorites are the: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Shih Tzu.
I’m also a big fan of the Westie, but Animal Planet didn’t find it in their hearts to determine us “compatible.” For awhile I really wanted a Corgi, but I think their serious shedding would be a huge issue not only when it comes to house keeping, but also my allergies. For the time being though I can barely keep up with my own “shedding.” Sometimes I really miss having blonde hair. After I dry my hair in the morning the bathroom floor is always covered and since it’s so dark now it really stands out. Yuck!

Cute puppies! You can have my puppy, because I know how much you love my dog hah. [=
You are right to hold out on the puppy until you are not living in the city. Having to walk your dog 20 blocks to the nearest grassy space so it can go to the bathroom at six in the morning is a nightmare.
Kelly’s mom’s neighbor has a shih tzu that they just let run free in the neighborhood, hoping it won’t come back. It is such a sweet dog, and it’s so ugly it’s cute. I will steal it for you next time I am nearby, and save it for you until you are in the burbs. 🙂

Pugs are good apt. dogs, they need minimal exercise and don’t really bark too much. Plus, they can* be box trained. My pug isn’t but I ahve some friends whose pugs won’t go to the bathroom outside if it is wet, raining, snowing or with snow on the ground. Here in Iowa that means they use theri “litter boxes” about 48 weeks out of th year. So, you know, not ideal, but possible. Plus, they are a good medium sized dog and so so so so good with kids. My pug is the official ambassador at my retail store and enjoys all the customers, but especially the kids!
