Shhhh! Come closer!
Don't tell anyone! Seriously! Shhhhh!
We're going to look at a dog on Saturday.
It's a Rat Terrier. She's really a cutie -- about 7 months old. Her breeder can't use her in her breeding program so they are looking for a good home. Her name is Ruby. She's smaller than we were looking for but well . . .
here's the deal . . . I had to make a deal with the devil -- err -- my husband. He wants a mastiff. I want a smaller dog so . . . masters of compromise that we are . . . we are going to do both. The small dog comes first but we are going to start the process of searching for a mastiff puppy.
What an adorable little thing who will end up this size . . .
Yikes. Holy guacamole.
But don't tell anyone . . . I don't want to jinx it. Fingers crossed that it all works out.
But seriously, this is what it's going to look like when we walk our dogs . . .
Okay, so I'm off to visit In The Company of Dogs because I don't have anything for a little dog . . . oh, and do you think its a good sign or a bad sign that I already have the picture of Ruby as my desktop pattern on my computer? Oh, I hope she likes the kids and all goes well.

Yahoooo! That is great news! I love mastiffs...and I expect to see many photos of both of them together. I don't think I've ever met a rat terrier so I want photos of her, too. You hope that she will like the kids? It's a given. All dogs love kids. I'm so excited for you.
I'm excited for you too! I hope all falls into place. Ruby looks so cute- sucha sweet face. I've secretly always wanted a mastiff too. I really can't wait to see all the pictures.
fingers and toes crossed!
shhh- won't tell...
Thanks Mary and Lynne. I'm secretly freaking out. I'm sure my husband knows how excited he is.
We're so funny. When he kept going on and on about a mastiff, I joked that it was fine as long as I got to get a smaller dog too. I totally though we were joking. Then two nights later, he threw my suggestion back at me and said he meant it.
We are the couple without willpower so I agreed! :)
Works for me!

I won't tell a soul!
I've always prefered big dogs, but there is something alluring about a little dog that curls up in your lap.
Ruby looks very sweet and quite sure of herself!
Thanks! We'll see how it goes. At least we have a plan and even if Ruby isn't the dog for us . . . another one will be. And, as for the mastiff . . . well, I'm always up for a challenge! :)
That mastiff puppy looks adorable, and it does grow up to be quite a fine looking BIG dog. So, how did it go with little Ruby? She is so cute. We have friends in Santa Cruz who have a rat terrier named Zuma. She has such a sweet disposition, she's the only dog we let in the house with our very afraid cat.
