My tiny huge surprise

 

This is Toby and we brought him home to live with us today. I’ve been wanting a dog for some time since I lost my beloved Nanook husky dog in 2020. I knew I’d never find another dog like her and at this time in our life a smaller dog made more sense. Nanook had a great mild and loving personality but it wasn’t going to work having a large dog that needed so much brushing and long walks. I also loved the idea of a cute lap type dog that didn’t shed. My dog Toby is a Maltese yorkie mix and will weigh about 5 or 6 pounds full grown! Nanook was 70 pounds! Big difference! This little guy already has a sweet personality and I love him. I look forward to lots of good days with him. He won’t be able to take long walks but I’ve seen people with small pets in dog strollers and I may think of doing that in the future but it’s also nice to relax in the evening with a cute lap dog. 

We were going to wait until spring to start looking but I saw this ad at the restaurant where we had lunch this week and to my surprise my husband decided it was okay to get the dog now since it was just what we were looking for.

I’m very happy right now and Toby seems at home already!
