Labrador's are great dogs, very smart and good with small kids even if they do grow very big sometimes, my step dad's is more like a small horse then a dog!
I got a Rat Terrier back in September. I had been waiting on her since she was born on June 17th and I had to wait until she turned 7 weeks until I could get her. She just turned 6 months on January 17th. She is around 10 pounds now. She is cuddled up in her blanket (my friends are amazed that my dog can cover herself with a blanket) right now. I'll attach a pic later.
