Our persistent Cali wore us down and in a moment of insanity, Derek and I agreed to get her a "small" dog. I drove an hour each way to a breeder and picked out her little papillon puppy.
We surprised her on Valentines day. She was so excited. We named him Wiley, and he is a cutie. He is 2 lbs and my great dane does not know what to make of this tiny thing running in between his huge paws. Cali has kept up her end of the bargain and has been taking excellent care of him. Sawyer just wants to drag him everywhere and so we have to remind him to be soft. I have never had a tiny dog before and it is a whole different experience. He is so tiny that you feel like you have to carry him everywhere. i have had to be pretty firm about him having to walk a lot of places. If Cali had her way his feet would never touch the ground. About a week after we gave him to her, Cali and I were in the car and she said "When I was in Heaven, I asked Jesus to give me the funnest dad, the best mom, the nicest older brother, a fun baby brother and a the smallest dog ever. Now I don't need anything else!............I mean, I still want presents for my birthday and Christmas." She keeps us entertained that is for sure!
