Introducing Miley - our family's new addition

For the past couple of months the kids have really been interested in getting a dog. I have always been the hold-out on getting a dog. The clincher that finally got me was when Jacob brought home a paper from his 100th day of school - it was a book of hundred dollar bills and little sayings about what they would do if they had $100. Jacob wrote "If I had $100 I would buy a dog." We had been looking up different breeds and reading up on them. We had settled on looking for a Maltese. We went and checked out the pounds but there wasn't much to choose from in terms of small dogs. We went and looked at PetLand. Immediatley we saw this cute little puppy with an adorable face. They know what they are doing at that store! They put you in a little visiting room with the dog where you can hold and play with the dog. The kids loved her right away. Scott loved her and I have to admit I liked her too. She is a Havanese pure breed - a small dog that will only get 7 to 14 lbs. She is non/low shedding, good for allergens, intelligent and low maintenance. What else could I ask for? Except for her to already be housebroken? She is 8 weeks old right now and weighs 4 lbs. We decided to go ahead and get her. Not at all what we set out to do today but who could resist her cute little face. Everyone seems to really like her. Welcome to our family, Miley!
