Our new little dog is turning out to be a good guy. He doesn't bark, is housebroken, friendly, playful, doesn't shed to speak of, isn't smelly, follows commands, and likes the kids. The boys take turns taking him out and both know not to tug on the leash, scare the dog, or leave their toys on the floor. (Biscuit thinks kids toys look like fair game to him, and you can't blame him, right?)
He actually did bark once - when Hubster was getting out of the car. He knows the question "Do you want to go for a ride in the car" and will freak out if out excited if he hears about rides in cars. So we know he CAN bark, he just doesn't. His bark sounded like a beagle howl so its probably a good thing he prefers not to bark. His favorite thing to do is get underneath blankets. He will put his whole body underneath the fleece blanket I gave him - even his head. I figured he was cold so therefore he is wearing a shirt. It is a Harley Davidson shirt, btw. What a riot. I never thought I would have a dog who wants to wear clothes.
But really - who could say no to a face like this?
