Birthday Puppy

I am about to burst from an overload of c-u-t-e! My husband's birthday is coming up and I made him this puppy. When I bought this Japanese stuffie book (ISBN4579109783) he asked me to make one of these for him. That was this summer, so it should be a surprise. The doggie (real one) in the picture is one of his favorite breeds. We can't have a dog in our apartment, so I thought this would be the next best thing.

Birthday Puppy is made from plush acrylic felt. That stuff is wonderful! Your stitches get buried in the fuzz and it looks and feels very cuddly and soft. Wal-mart sells it from bolts in tan, black, and white (perfect for a panda baby!). I sewed him by hand. His body, arms, and legs are all half-filled with plastic pellets, so he has an unexpected weight to him. He feels solid and huggable. I just want to squeal with glee!

I wandered over from Crafting Japanese.

Happy birthday to your husband! And that puppy is adorable! It just sent me over the edge. I just went and bought that book along with a bunch of other Japanese books I've been wanting.

The puppy is an Airedale Terrier. Well ... now that I look at the Dog Breed Directory on animalplanet.com, it looks like it might be a mix of some kind. Maybe Airedale and Poodle since the purebred Airedales don't seem to have curly hair like he photo dog.

So, my birthday is in about 3 weeks, and my mom said I could get a puppy for my birthday! (: I love all types of dogs, but I need help to find a dog that best fits my lifestyle...

My mom does not like big dogs, so I can't get any huge dogs (St. Bernards, Mastiffs, etc.) or any dogs like pit bulls or rottweilers, a smaller dog would be the best i think. I love being outside, so one that enjoys being outdoors a lot and going on long walks would be great! Also, I babysit my nieces a ton, and I have a cat, so a dog that is okay with small children and cats is a necessity.

I appreciate any help i can get. Thanks! :)
