Ode to Chewbacca (Chewy)

talking back

My sons and I have allergies, and all dreamt of owning a dog. Thinking this was an unobtainable goal, we did the fish tank route. It was ok, but just not the same as having someone meet you at the door, ready to forgive you for leaving and love you intensely for returning.

I happened upon a rescue lady's ad looking for homes for a litter of Schnoodles. I'd never heard of them, so I researched the breed online. I loved how they sounded..non-shedding, intelligent and loyal. A friend of the family asked what he could get us for Christmas and this puppy popped into my head.

He bought us the puppy Nov 29/07 and he's brought us fulfilment, joy, and best of all..no allergy symptoms. He loves just hanging out with us and visiting Grandma (who spoils him by cooking for him). He is such a joy!
