Life, Love, and Eddy

This is Eddy. A cute, fun loving, sweet, terror of a dog. We got him about two weeks ago. He is a mini pinscher mut. He stands about 16 inches (John's estimate...so precise) off the ground and is about 24 inches from nose to end of tail. Not too big, not too small. He is full of energy and loves anything that squeaks or has stuffing... 
Especially $50 dollar dog beds that are made of foam. Yes, sadly he tore that apart, and a blanket, and numerous toys. But somehow, whether it be the cute floppy ears, or chocolatey brown eyes, he won his way into our hearts. His previous owner was going to take him to the pound and John and I couldn't resist taking him in. He is very loyal, but he pees every time he meets someone new...how embarrassing! I have taught him how to sit and stay, and how to stand on his hind legs and spin in a circle (we call it dancing). Although these tricks are somewhat cute, they do nothing to correct the craziness that ensues when someone walks in the door, or the chaos that consumes our happy afternoon walks when he sees any other living being. Eddy, unbeknownst to him, is starting doggy school on Monday evening! Hopefully one evening a week for six weeks will be enough training (for him and us) to correct some of his more annoying habits! But who am I kidding? He had me at hello.
