My husband and I have two amazing dogs. We have no children yet, so as most newly married couples do, we have dogs. Lyla was adopted in Italy. I love that dog so much that I had to bring her all the way back to America when I came. Luckily she's small enough to travel in the cabin instead of cargo. She's a little tiny thing, but I'm quick to clarify that she is not a yippy dog. She's got a big dog bark on her! She's only about 13.5 lbs and is just about the sweetest, most cuddly dog ever. She loves to get under the covers with you and snuggle up close. In the winter in Italy when our apartment was about 40 degrees Farenheit, she was the best form of heat available. In November of last year we added a new dog to the mix as well, Scout. Lyla loves people and really does love other dogs. However, she has to go at her own pace. We can never take her to a dog park. She totally freaks. Needless to say, it has taken quite some time for Lyla to come around, but she finally has. She and Scout will start tearing around in the basement, running at warp speed around and around and around the couch. Scout chasing Lyla. Lyla chasing Scout. It's crazy and so funny to watch. Especially when you take into account that Scout is about five times Lyla's size. Scout is a black lab-basset hound mix. He's got a big lab body and tail and is solid black, but he has big droopy basset hound ears and short little basset hound legs with some crazy paws. We were of course excited to have the new addition of Scout but it was so unfortunate that Lyla would growl and bare her teeth at him. Well, it turns out that all they needed was the chance to spend a little time together without us around. And low and behold, they worked it out! Now they're the best of buds. Lylita and Scoutino!!!
We also discovered that Scout has quite the talent for singing...
Sorry I can't get it turned around but you get the idea!!!
