My New Obsession
I am totally an obsessive/compulsive person. Almost everything I do has a rhyme or reason behind it and I have daily routines that if messed up in anyway drive me crazy. This mentality carries over into almost everything that I do. It is an inherited sickness, my father has it (but 100X worse than me).
Once I get it in my head that I want something I obsess about it, research it, and think about it non stop until I get it.
The newest thing is the acqusition of a new dog. Alpha male has dog allergies as most of you who have been reading awhile remember. I had to give my dog away in August due to his allergies. We both have commented on how much we miss having a pet. Up until the recent berak-in scare, we were going to get a cat. But now we feel that we would feel safer if we got a dog.
The only problem is finding one the won't totally distroy my husband's allergies. the majority of the dogs on his "can have" list are froo-froo dogs such as poodles, Schnauzers, etc. I have always wanted a little "froo-froo" dog, but we have always bought mutts.
Well I stumbled across the "hybrid" dogs and I think I found the one I want. I am totally in love with the Schnoodles and the Bichpoos. I found a breeder about an hour from here that has them for really reasonable. $250 for the Schnoodle and $100 for a Bichpoo (he's a little older). Since they are a hybrid they are considered healthier and have the qualities of both dogs, which I really like. And since they are both on AM's list of hypoallergenic dogs, I think he shouldn't have too many problems with his allergies. So hopefully I can convince him to go and look at him this weekend.
I am not totally looking forward to house breaking a puppy, but I so miss having a puppy that I can sit and cuddle with. And I have always wanted to be one of those annoying people that take their dogs everywhere with them. I have never had a dog that I could do that. All of mine were either too big or got car sick to easily.
So keep your fingers crossed for me! Which one do you like better? Do you have any pets?

Get the older one - that way he'll be easier to housebreak!
