My husband and I (well we were boyfirend and girlfriend) when we first fostered a little girl Yorkie and we fell in love with the breed. I've always had Cairn Terriers and always kenw I'd have a terrier. But, I don't think all of the knowledge or preparing in the world would have made us ready for Giz. Granted, we did get him a week before our wedding, and I was at my wits end with stress (gotta love in laws) so I know I would have handled things a little bit differently (not crying at 2 in the morning to my mom on the phone asking if I could just sleep there so I couldn't hear Gizmo cry at night). But hey! If my husband and I get anotehr furbaby, we'll know at little bit more because of the experience!
Brit I think you're an awesome Momma! I love all of the Jackson movies and seeing what tricks he's doing next. Needless to say, after my husband watched them he's attempting to get Gizmo to do all those tricks as well!
