.... I've got a new dog! All it took was a Saturday visit to the Marin Humane Society, there he was and I grabbed him. Six years old, has had only one owner, very smart, already knows several commands. Sleeps all night, house trained, and he is small enough to pick up but big enough to not be a yapper. And he is a terrier! Lots of people don't like terriers because they are sometimes barky, often too independent and they like to dig. I have no preconceived anti-terrier ideas so I adopted this guy for all the other reasons: age, size, house trained and adorableness. Supposedly they are difficult to train because they are independent, but this guy doesn't have too many bad habits (yet!) so I am not worried. Here he is: Shiloh.
He is happy relaxing on the couch, or cuddled up in his bed. And look at that little face!!!
Shiloh loves walks, is excited to get in the car, likes to stick his head out the window while we drive. So far he isn't concerned about other dogs or cats, but we have yet to meet many face-to-face, but that will change.
He is going to be a lively, spicy little guy but as I mentioned, he is smart and I think he wants to please. Time will tell. For now, it's nice to have another being in the house.
