I love my Rascal. :)

I love Rascal.

He honestly is so dang cute and spunky, I just love him to pieces. Constantly I hear about how he is so well-behaved, so smart, or simply so lovable. He seems to grab the heart of anyone he is around, and his personality shines so brightly.. he is so playful and cuddly. He is my pride and joy, as silly as that sounds, and I love him with every little bit of me. I can't imagine my life without him, and I wouldn't want to even think about where I'd be if I didn't have him to stand by me through these past 4 1/2 years. He is amazing. He has stayed right by my side, and sleeps right next to me every night--sometimes even snuggled in to me if he gets cold. I love having such an amazing little dog, I couldn't ask for anything more..he's been amazing. He is so thankful for new toys, treats, and even cuddle time with Mommy...I looooveeee him. I can't even say it enough, he is so stinkin amazing!

It's true too, he's quite the amazing lil dog--full of tons of love. He has a heart that is 2 1/2 sizes too big, which gave him quite the breathing complications this past year. At first, I didn't know what was going on with him or why he'd go into his gasping for air fits, but after a few Veterinarian visits and x-rays, they discovered that his heart was so big it was pushing on his trachea, therefore trapping his airways and making it difficult for him to get oxygen. He had to get antibiotics and some other medications to help the swelling stop, but his heart will never "shrink" back to size again. He's my little doggie full of nothing but love---so that is my logic about how lovable and so stinkin amazing he is. He has been through a lot, not only with me and my trials, but as his own little self. I am so proud of him.

Rascal, I love you soOOoOOOooO much.

And, as I write this, he lays right next to me...I want to go cuddle him for a little bit, so that is what I am going to do. He is growling and barking in his sleep, sometimes whimpers too.. It is absolutely adorable. He just makes me smile. Every day.

I just wanted to share with you all just how amazing my little dog is. I have never been so attached to an animal before, this little guy has been my sunshine through many shady paths. He is my little angel. Aww I love him.

And here is a picture I took last week-- he just looked extra adorable that day, I couldn't resist.


This little guy is responsible for keeping me sane, and being the bestest friend under 15 pounds anyone could ask for.
