Well I have fallen in love again. This time, he has ashy blonde hair with black lowlights. He stands about 6 inches high and weighs 4 pounds. Sherlock is our new Pekingese puppy and has totally won our hearts with the smushed in face! He was a happy birthday present to me.
He is actually a really good puppy. He goes to the door or whimpers a little to tell us he needs to go outside and had only a few accidents. Sherlock loves his new bed and sleeps through the night. I think he has found a playmate in Tanner. They love to chase eachother and share toys. When Sherlock gets too hyper for Tanner, he just jumps somewhere where Sherlock can't reach...so pretty much anywhere! Claudia doesn't seem to affected by him one way or the other.
I am a total dork and have been reading a Pekingese book. The breed is new to me and I want to be well informed. He probably won't be more than 8 lbs as an adult. He can't ever go up and down stairs because it causes knee problems later in life. I never thought I would have a toy breed but I am so happy he is with us. We are going to start more extensive training (sitting, no barking, etc) this weekend.
