So, Dave and I have been talking about getting a dog for a few months now. We both love animals and really wanted a dog to go hiking with. The problem is that we have a small backyard and travel quite a bit. Our compromise was to get a small dog that we could take with us. We will get our big dog later on in life =) Oliver is 13.5 lbs terrier mix. We got him from the humane society, which is always a bit of a gamble. We really were blessed in this game of luck. We couldn't ask for a better dog. He is really mellow (unlike hyper Kuyper). He loves to play, but prefers cuddling up with anyone and everyone on the sofa. We took him for his first road trip this past weekend and he was SUCH a trooper. He bonded with my family really fast and didn't want to leave. He slept in the car either on my lap or on the back seat on a blanket and never barked or whimpered the entire time. He has yet to go to the bathroom in the house. He trains easily and we've already got him obeying commands and potty trained. We couldn't be more excited for this little addition to our family. Enjoy the pictures of Oliver!!
