Thanks everyone. I have not had a dog in ages but I wanted a furry friend for myself. So I did lots of research on small dogs and decided on a Papillon.
I had ordered dog supplies on Saturday from a fantastic on line place called Chewy.com For any of you pet lovers (cats and dogs) if you are not familiar with them do check them out. Great, great prices and excellent service. They had crates and food and toys and leashes and all sorts of stuff one might need.
Anyway I just got it all today so at least I have supplies for my pup.
