Camera Critters – At The Pet Expo
A trip to the pet expo yesterday – still doing breed research – carefully, thoughtfully working toward picking the perfect dog for us. ( Really? I doubt I’d be nearly this careful, slow and thorough in my research and selection if I didn’t have to wait until we move to our new home to get my pup! 
)
We’re limited to choosing from toy breeds by the pet policy in our new building – 20lbs or less. I don’t want to be the new tenant called to the office, forced into a Monty Python dialogue with management -
” Ma’am, that dog looks larger than 20 lbs.”
“No he doesn’t.”
“Yes he does, look at him”
“No he doesn’t.”
(That parrot is dead…. 
)
We saw a comically concerned pug
a perky shitzu
dainty little papillions
and this super guy with the dreds. (the dreds alone probably go more than 20lbs….)
I went to the expo already pretty set on the idea that I want a Yorkie.
Russ helps this decision along by announcing that he “Will Not live with a chihuahua.”
There are other apartments available in the same building.
We could be neighbors.
But I love Grampy with all my heart. We both like Yorkies. Also a better breed choice for Maya – a little sturdier, a little less snappy.
The decision is made. Yorkie it is!

Nice pictures from the pet expo. The yorkies in the last two pictures are so cute. So have you got your yorkie?
A Yourkie for you! Yippee!! Wonderful photos from the pet expo. Great way to decide on a dog for the family.
The pet expo looks like a lot of fun. Lots of cute doggies and other animals. The Yorkies are cute especially the last photo. Great choice!
What marvelous photos of so many wonderful doggies
Hugs and blessings,
I feel like petting all of them.
how about boston terriers? we are partial to them here, BU and all.
“A better breed choice for Maya,” … really? Do they like children? I have known one who would have gladly and viciously bitten and swallowed our son whole (a toddler at the time), and another one who still likes to bark at and attack our son and all his friends who are now tween boys, including his own master. Better check with a vet to make sure these two Yorkies are exceptions, and that it’s not a breed that hates children.
Sorry. If size wasn’t an issue I would highly recommend a Golden Retriever. They are so gentle, plus they have what’s called a “soft mouth” — they were bred not to bite, even the birds they retrieved while hunting.
