And no, we don't mean Alfalfa! So for some reason I have really been jonesin' to get a dog. I knew I didn't want a puppy because I don't want my shoes and furniture to be chewed up so I have been looking online at the pound and stuff to get a cute one year old (or so) dog. After much looking, the dogs I would find would get adopted right before my eyes. One I really thought I would like got adopted and I actually shed a tear. It was sad. I had been looking on KSL for dogs and found one that the people were giving away for free. They just wanted to find a good home. So, we called the lady and arranged to go see the little guy. He was pretty unfriendly at first but after hearing his short sad life up to that point we knew we wanted to take him home and give him lots of love. So we did! His name is Max and he is a 9 month old Chihuaha/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He looks more Terrier then Chihuaha, which is good. He has the floppy ears and he is full grown. We just love him. He has brought new energy to our house and he makes us both really happy. I guess this is what having kids feels like on a small scale :). He is a little rowdy and we've had some potty issues but we are working on those. We enrolled him to go to dog training and we start that next week. We just absolutely love him. :) He is scratching at my chair as we speak... stinker! :) Anyway, just wanted to share the good news. See the pictures, keeping in mind it sure is hard to photograph a dog! Also for those who grew up with me he reminds me a lot of Chienne. Oh the memories.

How fun! He is adorable. We actually got a puppy for Christmas..check our blog in a couple days and I will post pictures. Horray for doggies! They are worth all the patience that is required for them. :)
So cute. I've been debating getting a dog for a while, but I don't think I could handle the responsibility. I'll have to live vicarious through you.
So fun for you...funny that you say he reminds you of Chienne because I thought the same thing before I read your post. I hope that you enjoy easing into motherhood with something that won't talk back.
oh my goodness he looks like my chihuahua...with the flopped down ears and everything! mine has long hair though..good move on the the no puppies..they are darling..but very very expensive! congrats enjoy him and good luck on the potty training!
I'm glad you posted some pictures! He's really cute. You guys are going to have so much fun with him.
That's what I was going to say, he looks a lot like Chienne. That's great that you got a dog what a cutie. Glad to hear you got such a good deal too. Fun stuff!!!
How fun that you go a little dog. Joe and I miss you. Would you want to go to tepenyaki's sometime this month? How is he new place by the way?
Your little doggie is very cute! I am jealous. Lucas won't let us get a dog. He said kids make enough messes.
