http://www.petfinder.com Shih Itzu (sp) are really small and gentle with children. Or there are many breeds that are mixed with poodles if anyone has allergies in your family. I would check with your local animal shelter or even PetSmart has adoption days. Sorry to hear about your doggie!

Have you considered going totally raw?? My dogs do so well on a raw diet, no allergies, no doggy smell, and a lot less waste! If you are going raw, you might want to check some web sites...just type in raw diet dogs, or B.A.R.F. (bones and raw foods) Joan Divide, CO

Michele, Your still the most beautiful woman in the world. How have you been. Please drop me a line at [email protected]. Would love to catch up with you. Jason

Oh my gosh you guys, she had only one puppy! One little boy which was what we were hoping for. She had to go in last Saturday and have a c-section because he was a hog dog!! Shes a great mother and hes a little porker. His color is unique he is white with sable patches with black outlining and a black mask. He weighed a whopping 5oz at birth. I guess he got stuck in the birth canal so they pulled him out. Both momma and son are doing fine. We named him "Duckie" because he has the perfect white outline of a duck in flight on his back. Like I said, he is unique. I guess this means we are keeping him................... lol But for anyone still interested in puppies, we have our chocolate/tan female getting ready to be bred to our blue merle male anyday now. AND WE ARE NOT KEEPING THOSE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Michele

I have 4 adult mini schnauzers and 5 4 week old puppies. The puppies will be for sale soon. We usually only breed in the spring but I had my surgery about the time the females were in heat and somehow one of them got together with our male. Oh well, we'll have a little extra Xmas money. All 4 of mine need grooming. I must get that done next week. I groom my own. Linda
