People ignoring him. Houdini's Story & Details
My husband grew up without animals, so when I really started pressing for a puppy it was a challenge. I wanted something small and that doesn't shed a lot because that was his biggest argument. I was trying to stay away from breeders, but living in such a small town I was not having much luck. One day while searching petfinder.com I came across a picture of our pup and his brothers. It was instant love (for me.. not my husband)!! The only problem was the rescue house was in Salem, UT (about a 4 hour drive, just south of SLC). My girl friend and I decided to make a weekend trip out of it. She brought her handsome dog, River, to welcome him. He's a Mastador and super caring, so I think he was a little nervous about how tiny the new guy was. He was such a great teacher in those couple of days, as our puppy is doing great with the potty training!! We got him at 9.5 weeks old, and he was nameless until last week so we just used lil man. We were not going to rush naming him, though people were pressing for something. It was during dad and pup playtime Houdini came into our minds and stuck [at 13.5 weeks]. Needless to say.. my husband fell in love rather quickly, and questioned his logic behind NOT wanting a dog. WOOHOO!!.. 1 more person changed from being anti-dogs.
