[Chatt Town]

I just got my little Dex about four weeks ago. He was being rehomed by a rescue group, and said he is about a year old and belonged to an older lady who got too sick to take care of him. They say he's a Schnorkie. I hope it's okay for me to be here even though he doesn't have a clean pedigree.

I've had several questions about how to take care of this guy and Google kept pointing me to this site. I love that there are so many people willing to help out those of us who are new to this breed, and everyone seems very kind, at least so far!

I wasn't really in the market for another pet. We have a six year old Australian Shepherd (my husband is "her" person) and a six year old cat. But all my grandkids are in other states and I don't get out much for health reasons, so now I'm a Yorkie mom. I had no idea how much I'd love this little dude! He loves to run and play chase with the Aussie outside, but he's very content to sit with me or snuggle under the covers if I'm resting.

I look forward to learning from the forums here, and from my cute little Dex!
