He is gentle and patient and willing to learn our new house with new rules.  He hasn&#8217;t made a noise yet, I will be surprised when we finally hear what his bark is like.  Turns out my dad had a fox terrier as a boy so he gave us a glowing review about the breed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/TK4w063kASI\/AAAAAAAAJac\/BY6MyhblDls\/s1600\/DSC05776.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/TK4w063kASI\/AAAAAAAAJac\/BY6MyhblDls\/s320\/DSC05776.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525407478543810850\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>(Baby Boy can&#8217;t pronounce Riddick so he calls our dog &#8216;RICK&#8217;!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We have already been on a few walks with him and he is a lot of fun to play with at the park.

Feel like this is a real blessing for the family.  We knew adopting was the way to go but never ever thought we would be able to adopt a purebred.  I don&#8217;t think I have ever ever owned anything but a mutt before. Oh I still love a lovable mutt but I also have to change my stance on the idea of purebreds and male dogs now that that is what I have!  Never had a male before either! Then the fact that he is so mild and well trained is a super big deal for this mama.  Makes my job of integrating him into the family a whole lot easier.  I am so glad we didn&#8217;t opt for a puppy.  This over sized honey of a lap dog is more my style:)<\/p>\n<p>TTFN<br \/><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the dog for us found us, so often how things in life work.
