all the shelters in my area require a fenced yard for dogs over 40 lbs which pisses me off to no end. they'd deny a dog a good and euthanize them just because someone doesn't have a fenced yard.
i'm getting two lab puppies tmrw, both girls, and i'm having a hard time coming up with names too. good luck finding a name for the cute little guy. sometimes that's the hardest part!

Re: new puppy!
aww thanks everyone for the compliments! we finally named him Dodger, because the fiance is a LA Dodger fan and it just suited him!
we took him for a walk today to the park and he's such a lady killer! a bunch of cars would slow down and the ladies in the car would point and had the "awww!" face, haha.
animacani - he cost a pretty penny. with everything said and done, he was about 2Gs.
sooo I think that means getting some overtime at work so I can help pay for him!

Re: new puppy!
Adorable! He has SUCH a cute face!
I'm sure you've already done research on owning/raising a yorkie, but as a dog groomer I just wanted to add a little bit. Because his hair is soooo soft and silky it will tangle and matt very quickly! I would invest in a metal Greyhound comb (you could probably get one at any petstore) and a good gentle brush. Honestly, it may be a little out of your range but the brushes by Les Poochs are the BEST. The yellow 'soft' brush is the one you want to best suite Dodger's coat. I would introduce him to brushing and combing as soon as you can. Start with introducing the tools to him slowly, letting him sniff everything, every day for a few minutes. At 4 months (after his last set of puppy shots) he should see a professional groomer for the first time. (Do your research on your area, you want quality grooming not always the cheapest person). The frequency of grooming will depend on how long you want his adult coat to be. The longer you want to leave it, the higher maintenance it will be. (I have yorkie clients in short coats I see every 6 weeks, medium lengths every 4 weeks, and one full coat every 1-2 weeks). Also daily brushing and combing to the skin will promote a healthy skin and coat and prevent matting. He will matt especially quickly on the tummy, chest, behind the ears, and under each leg (where there is friction from walking, playing, etc.). They are very sensitive so if the daily grooming is too much for you, ask the groomer to shave him a little close in those spots to help prevent mats. Phew! Sorry I wrote a book, grooming is just sooo important, especially with fur like what Dodger has. If you have any questions feel free to email me
**Also, do your research on what dog food to feed him. Small dogs have very sensitive stomachs. A raw food diet is best, but can be expensive and time-consuming. Good choice of pre-made dog foods are Innova and Solid Gold. Good luck

Re: new puppy!
I was going to mention that you should never buy a puppy from a pet store but it looks like someone already brought up that topic, but he is so cute!

Re: show off your pets!
These were taken this afternoon right before she sprawled herself out on my couch and took a nap. She is so spoiled... i love this little creature.
She's still a baby - 9 months old. Her name is Dia.
and here is one of her wrestling with her chihuahua mommy.
I took her back to the breeder to visit, she loved it!
Everyone else has such cute pets too! Keep the pics coming.

Re: show off your pets!
Lilly my Bengal Cat i love her
My Parents got 3 Bengal Cats too and let me tell you they have a different character than the cats we've had before. Lilly needs a lot of attention and she meaows constantly...shes just quiet when she sleeps (which is when im at work lol). Just to let you all know if you decide to get a Bengal Cat which can range from 600 to 3000 USD be sure you really have time to play and cuddle etc.
