I couldnt love him any more than I already do, he is just the perfect puppy!  We went outside today to get some fresh air and we lucked out and caught the sun out. I had much difficulty getting some decent photographs of him because he was always running towards me!

Meet Romeo, the newest member of my family.

I wasnt sure if I would ever be ready for another dog after losing Pablo so suddenly but I sincerely missed that bonding experience and companionship you have with a dog, but of course, Pablo wasnt just another dog, so I wasnt sure I would be able to find that again. After New Years, I felt though that if I found the right puppy, I was ready. I found a good breeder, one that I trusted and while I really wanted to adopt from a shelter, because of my circumstances with already owning 3 cats and having a small house, I had to have a small breed that would tolerate cats – i combed the shelters for over a month and the majority were large dogs or ones that would not tolerate a cat. So my mind was made up and i met with the breeder who told me she had a litter of Bichon Shihtzu mix ready for new homes. I quickly did some research on the breed and decided this was a good mix. I really love Bichons and have had two over the last 20 years, their personality really suits me. I arrived at the breeders on the 11th and went home with Romeo – I knew right away he was the right one! He had a larger brother that was a bit more robust, but something told me the smaller, timid one was my Romeo!

I havent regretted one moment with him, he has been a dream and has really filled a huge gap left in my heart by Pablo. I look forward to every day, watching him grow and laughing at his antics. He is a blessing and has quickly endeared himself to us.

I think even Pablo would approve.
