We have 2 small dogs.
Woofie is a long haired chihuahua who is 10 years old and isn't getting around too good lately. But he is still up for a long walk on the beach when we go even if he is walking crooked and "daddy" has to carry him sometimes. Woofie doesn't know that he is a dog.
And then we have PoohJoe. PoohJoe IS A DOG in all aspects. But hes a great dog and he is a poodle and is 8 years old now. We call him our Velcro dog as he thinks he has to be next to my husband at all times. He even sleeps with my husband and props his head up on my husbands knees. PoohJoe was adopted from a Vet that whos owner took him to to have him boarded while she was in the hospital and just a few days later the lady died. So Poohjoe was left and put up for adoption and my husband fell in love with him and that is how he became part of our family. Both dogs are certified companion animals through the VA for my husband.
