Welcome Bette and Rex. I have a young Shih Tzu (Cuddles) in my family too. She is supposed to be my son's dog, but it would appear that she has bonded most with me, as I am the one she follows all around the house. If I can get to Ocracoke at Thanksgiving with the mess that Isabel did to the roads on Hatteras, Cuddles will be able to get her first look at a lighthouse!
