Linda's little poodle had to be put down about 13 years ago, and she took it pretty hard.
I paid $600 for a West Highland pup. She kept it 2 months and gave it away. Then I paid $450 for a Yorkie. She kept that one a little more than a month and gave that one away.
Gizmo the miniature Schnauzer was a surprise that I drove all the way to Oklahoma City for, and paid $400 for.
He lasted 3 months, and Linda gave him to our oldest boy.
Gizmo is gotten old with my son, but still going strong.
One day about 10 years ago, Linda says she's ready for another dog.
I say: I ain't buying another dog, so she says lets look at rescues.
At the pound she picks out the scroungest little black mutt you could imagine.
It turned out to be half miniature Schnauzer, and half Rat Terrier.
Best little house Mutt I've ever seen.
Go figure.
