I have two dogs in my household. I got them both from the local animal shelter as pups. Both are fantastic dogs and my home wouldnt be the same without them. Lewis is a Shepard/Doberman mix and is now 12 yrs old, Emmy is a Malamute/Lab mix and is 2 yrs old. The only drawback is that every f'n thing I own is covered in dog hair... oh, and the 2 lb turds....could do without those...

Buddy the Labrador is still getting along good and Living the Life of Reilly my Mom says.
Wife thinks he is our third child and the kids and me love him too.
Love him bunches and he is a full fledged member of the family now.

Things have changed a bit since last year in that we lost Rex mid year but we still have our bandit Snow. We had taken her to the groomers a couple of days earlier and she was trying to get the bandana off and got it stuck on her nose.

I'm a dog-person (is that a proper term) through and through and I'm missing my old friends. All of them have passed by now, my last buddy Max about 2-3 years ago.

I'm seriously thinking of getting a Pom for my kids (my previous dogs were Jap Spitz), I'm sure they'd love it. My eldest is actually the first (and only) child to befriend our neighbor's big-ass Labradors, and when my second was born, he was chasing that big dog around as he himself was still learning to walk/waddle. Unfortunately, it seems like a Pom is damn expensive here in UK, and caring for a dog is also expensive in itself.

Ice, my eldest son works at the Dogs Trust (a national rehoming charity here) and they have some pedigree Poms ready for re-homing. They were rescued from a 'hoarder', who had over 60 in a small house. They are quite young, and due to their previous situation, untrained and unsocialised.
They would also have to be re-homed in pairs.
