We have two black cats (Hudson and Mater named by our five year old after two characters in the Cars movie) that are about two and a half years old. Katie has always wanted a dog, and a month or so ago, we decided to go get a cock-a-poo for her. When we got to the breeder, there was a Yorkiepoo ready to go home that both Katie and Suzie (me, too) fell in love with immediately. The idea of waiting for a dog (the cock-a-poo was about three weeks old then) as compared to one that moves and plays won out in the end. So, we added Lucy to the family.
She is the perfect lap dog, and Mom really likes her. But, Katie and Suzie wanted a buddy for Lucy. We decided that if we got another dog, it would be small, but not the same kind. Katie also wanted a dog big enough to eventually sleep with her and go on walks. After listening to their pleas, and then seeing that our original puppy was still available (and now ready to come home), we decided yesterday that training two is no different than one (faulty logic I am sure).
Max, as he will be called, is a small cock-a-poo buff in color. While Lucy is a little over 3 pounds and won't get more than four (the vet thinks), Max will be about 10 to 12 pounds. Still small, but Katie is excited to have one that should be able to walk with her! She wants a collar and lease experience with her dog! The cats are almost used to Lucy... they are going to really hate us tonight!
Suzie is in route to Portland right now and will be home by the time I get home with Katie from school. Oh, boy -- as my Mom would say... tonight will be fun.
