I know I already said this, my neighbor's kid brought one home, well
if this isn't the friggin sweetest dog you ever met (okay, unless you had
met mine, Rascal the wire haired fox terrier) ... oh, what a doll face.
If I dare to get another dog some day, I'll SERIOUSLY consider a
boxer, even though they are bigger than I like. Nice nice dogs.
