Welcome to YT!! And welcome to little Moshi. I too have been an animal lover/owner my entire life, but found I didn't know squat until we got Toto!
Our house is sooooo puppy proof and my once immaculate floors look like a two year old lives here! Wouldn't have it any other way .... she is our joy! I know you will love it here ... we have really great, knowledgeable people that are eager to help!
