You know our dog is an Italian greyhound and she is the light of our life... very sweet, does well with cats (they've kept her in line), sleeps all the time, comes under the covers... good with enclosed spaces. Housetraining could be better, though the fact we got her in December made it much harder. ... But if your mom doesn't like 'em, she doesn't like 'em.

Ours did come from a pet store, though the Mrs. knows absolutely everything about why you shouldn't do that. But she just curled up in the Mrs.' jacket and she was a goner. Something like that will happen to your mom if you're not careful.
