Well, one of our dogs is my avatar - that's Fizzgig, a Lhasa Apso who was originally a Valentine's Day gift to my wife but he and I bonded so much that my wife has always accused me of stealing her dog. I'd never wanted a small dog before, but this little pooch is just awesome!

This is him when he was about 2:



This is him now, a couple months shy of 11:




A couple of years ago we decided to get a second dog but this time around we rescued a female Shih-Tzu from a puppy mill. She was skin and bones when we brought here home, but she settled in well and is, without a doubt, the most patient and well mannered dog I've ever known. Being cooped up in a puppy mill for the first three years of her life means she loves to run wild in the back yard. And she sticks to my wife like glue! This is Kira.



Doing what she loves the most!




Fizzgig and Kira...... who can name the movie with those characters in it?
