Yeah adding another dog to the mix has created more work and cost me more money but I think it was definately the right thing to do and now I know we will get through this first stage. We enrolled Layla in a small breed puppy training class so I hope that helps smooth things out between my two furbabies. Time will tell. I can't wait to see pics of Lolly, I just love the name! Good Luck!

Thank you!!! I just looked at your pics and your dogs are gorgeous!!! I love Scootie's coloring!

Maltese are my weakness....oh no - all this talk about a second one is making me reconsider....but DH wants a Chocolate Mini Poodle.
