Aw, you guys are so sweet...

Romeo is by far our favorite and smartest dog. He puts up with the rest of the family, but really is my dog. He picked his favorite on day one and never leaves my side. It's kind of comical. My hubby calls him my " extra appendage".

We weren't planning on adopting a dog but I saw him at a small animal rescue adoption day. He was starving, weighed 9 lbs. and he's now 18. He and his sister were dumped off on the side of the road. Sister was adopted through the SPCA and his "time" was short so the small animal rescue took him in. He was unneutered and not housebroken at 1-2 years old. So, who knows what his life was like. I've had him for 1 1/2 years and we've really had to work hard with him. He used to be very animal aggressive and I couldn't trust him around strangers as he would nip them if they got near me. Now he plays with other dogs and does fine with people.
