"We started out large with an Irish Wolfhound. He was *very* large, about 120 pounds and we had him, we were very blessed, we had him for eight years. And then, over the course of our lives, we've had several different dogs and one of the special dogs was a standard poodle who was extremely intelligent, and we had a Yorkshire terrier for about fifteen years, and we thought that he would be the last one. And so, on the anniversary of his death, a year later, this doggie was born. It was a sign! My husband wasn't sure it was a sign, but out of all the dogs that we've owned in thirty years, he's the closest to this one."
