But that's the thing, I can't choose. Sam just spent 2 hours in my lap while I watched TV because she was cold, did the silly staring game that she does (if you look away you "lose" and she licks your face) and then when I got up she scrunched up my giant blanket and stole my warm spot. LOVE HER.

She goes pretty much everywhere with me.

That's why I said get both.

The original poster was dismissing boys just because she thinks she wants a girl. Words can't describe how much I love my boy. I just want her to understand that boys are precious too.

To the OP: Anything you've heard about the boys marking can be pretty much eliminated by 2 things - get him neutered at 6 months old and don't let him pee on anything upright, like a tree or fire hydrant until he's older. He'll never learn to lift and he won't mark. Start house training RIGHT AWAY so he learns the right place to pee is outside. The only thing Loki "marks" is the mailbox (he tries sooo hard to lift) and if another dog pees in our yard he will pee over that spot. But he doesn't walk around lifting on every object in sight, because i never let him do that when he was little.
