Heck, if you get a chance to, when you hit Oregon, stop by here! We're just about 30 miles south of Portland. My Bridgette could use a few lessons on inter doggie communication. The only one she has met that is not from her family is my mother in law's. She has a doxie chihuahua mix. It was suppose to be a mini doxie, turned out to be a maxi doxie. That poor dog has chihuahua head and feet with a disturbingly over fed full sized doxie body. I feel bad for the girl, she is only a couple of years old and has trouble getting around she is so huge.
Anyway, feel free to stop by! We'd love to meet you and your family of fur!
