Dogs

I love dogs.

I've been on the hunt for a dog for a while now. I'm trying to adopt one from the Nevada SPCA so I can give one a home that lost theirs. We came super close to adopting a cute black pomeranian we were planning on naming Wicket (as in the E-wok since the appearance was so close) but were denied because we were leaving for Cancun in a week.

We almost snagged a cute fawn colored pug named Curious George but were two people too late to snag him the day after we returned from our trip.

Every time I see someone walking a dog in out neighborhood I stop focusing on the task at hand and stare, longingly and lustfully. "I want that dog," I say out loud. Whether or not I am with anyone.

"You like dogs?" Sir Luke says. He likes to mock the fact that I have a one track mind right now. Dogs, dogs, dogs. I met a black and red Yorkie the other day when we came home from the airport. I was smitten by his perky little ears and shiny coat. Too bad I'm afraid I would step on a dog that small and break his little foot bones if he was mine.

Here are some breeds we like.

Pugs (I specifically want a black one but any will do as long as they're adorable and they don't have crazy googly-eyes)

Basset Hounds (we are concerned about size because although they are short still need lots of room, also they drool A LOT)

Shiba Inus (they shed A LOT, and are very independent dogs, but are also loyal and so so pretty. Have you seen the Shiba Inu puppy cam?!)

Pomeranian (Pom poms, I fell in love after I first saw Lulu on Craftzine and then Wicket stole my heart. We're hoping we can find another just as adorable)

 

This photo of Lulu was the clincher for Sir Luke, I think

Cavalier King Charles (so pretty and darling and sweet, gimme. Also, this)

 

So are you a dog or a cat person? I'd have more chance to be a cat person if I wasn't deathly allergic. Plus Sir Luke hates cats...meow?

What dog would you want, if you could get anything and money was no object (some of those breeds are Priceville, USA!)
