I never thought I would get another dog,, but when a 3 year old Doxie was on craigs list,, I went and saw him,, it was love at first site,,, He is the most lovable dog I have ever seen,, loyal to a fault,, at my side constantly, and loves to cuddle with me,, although hes a short hair,, he does shed quite a bit, looks like a barber shop floor when I sweep the kitchen and living room,, my only complaint is he is the most hard headed dog I have ever run across,, he goes outside and no matter how many times you scream his name,, he will ignore you,, but he knows when I am not feeling well,, sits at the foot of my bed and whines till i pick him up,, then its cuddle time,,
