Sharing your space with a dog is one of life's greatest pleasures. Your dog is always happy to see you, thinks your cooking is fantastic, loves your furniture and decorating sense, and adores your dirty clothes (especially used undies) more than their favorite toy. A dog will keep you warm on a cold night, keep your face and nose clean, and warn you of any suspicious characters lurking around. If dogs had opposable thumbs and could give a decent back massage, there would be no need for human significant others. Even the lack of conversation is a doggy plus.

Hanging out with a small dog is even better. Pint-sized, portable, with itty bitty poops and low exercise needs, small dogs are the companion of choice for couch potatos and frequent travelers alike. And you can dress them up.

My small dog is a 4.5 pound, 3 year-old Chihuahua named Peanut. She is colored red with a black brindle and has the cutest perky ears. She prefers to hang out in my lap 24x7 and would spend most of that time licking the inside of my nose if she could only get me to stay still. Her hair is kind of funky, since each hair is tri-colored, starting at a light tan, moving to a red hue, and tipped with black. This means that any outfit I wear, regardless of color, proclaims that I have a very hairy housemate.

Peanut's name was supposed to be Penelope. But really, that's a lot of name for what was a one pound dog at the time. Especially when her head was almost bigger than her butt and she had an obvious peanut shape. I've never been very good at naming pets. Anyhow, this time the name fit pretty well, and she answers to it, so I guess it worked out well. I always feel like I need to explain my dog's quotidian name, though.
