Gus will be moving on tomorrow, so there will be a missing part in our family. You have all given me great leads in what to look for in a small, calm, quiet, and good with children Dog.
The advice to rescue a dog strikes home with me. I live in a rural area and I see pups and older dogs dumped every year. You have given me a good idea of what I should be looking for, and something tells me the dog I am looking for will find me, as Rottie did. Of course, Rottie will have last say in this choice.
Sincerely, I thank all of you for your input.
