i just told my story on another thread but here goes......when i met my little smokey i wasnt even going to buy a dog....i was just going to see what one really looked like......when i got there and the breeder handed him to me he laid his head on my chest and i just melted.....i asked the breeder if he was ready to leave and she said you just hold him and i will get all of his stuff together because he just found his new mommy.......everyone thinks i am nuts.....i just think about what he would do in any situation and cant talk to anyone without talking about him.....we have had him since father's day and he was my gift to me.....lol.......cant imagine life without him......lol.....he is small......about 5 pounds and he is right at 10 months......both parents were 7 lbs.....he was the runt.....his sister is a little bigger but his 2 brothers are already over 7 lbs.......i could talk all night about my baby boy......
