We have been without a house dog for quite some time now. I honestly did not plan on another indoor dog due to my allergies. However, the kids felt differently. They have been begging for a dog for some time now. Back in October my mom sent me a picture of dog she saw in the paper, a rescue dog at a nearby kennel. Again, I still was not entirely sure about the responsibility of another dog. This dog was thought to be a Maltipoo (part Maltese, part Poodle). These types of dogs are considered a "designer breed" as they are not recognized by the AKC but are bred purely for their non allergenic abilities and smaller size. After some discussions we decided to give her a try. We liked the idea that she was a rescue dog and hoped that without the shedding she would not be as hard on me as a normal dog. My parents were able to dog sit her one weekend prior to obligating to adopt her which also gave us an idea of her behavior. After lots of discussions we finally agreed to let mom and dad adopt her for the kids. When mom and dad arrived last week, Izzy finally got to meet her new family.
This was the only photo we saw of Izzy prior to adopting her. The only thing we could tell was that she was a tangled mess of hair!
Mom and dad took Izzy for a grooming before her trip to Florida. Is that not the sweetest face?!
We certainly got lucky because Izzy is one patient dog! Sailor totes her around like a baby and Izzy doesn't seem to mind one bit.
