Hi, I'm Genji, I'm a much loved Silky Terror ... er Terrier. Let's face it, cute little dogs like me have special needs. When my human brought me home, I only weighed 4 pounds and had a heck of a time getting around the place! My mommy got me a lot of cool stuff to make my life easier and I wanted her to share her finds with other cute little dogs and their humans.
We also thought it would be fun to share stories and photos of other cute little dogs, and have a place where we can swap, sell and trade our cute little dog stuff. Our Message Board forums are set up to meet others in your area who love cute little dogs, and to share information on local vets, groomers, stores and to list pet friendly venues. Also, we want to feature helpful articles on keeping us little guys healthy and happy.
We also plan on a regular monthly feature called "Big Men, Little Dogs" showcasing photos of gorgeous big men who are confident and sweet enough to love cute little dogs. Mom got the idea when a 6' 4" friend of hers said he'd be embarrassed to be seen with a tiny dog ... well, he don't know what he's missing! (I did pee on his size 14 shoes to make a point!)
The first big guy is my vet, you may recognize him from Animal Planet's Emergency Vets. I love Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, and he thinks I'm pretty darn cute too!
Please write me with your suggestions or questions (I might start an "Ask Genji" column, my mom thinks I'm also quite intuitive, aside from cute! Why not ask a real PET psychic?) And, if you have a photo you'd like to share, or know an exceptional Big Man who loves Little Dogs, please tell us! We hope to get a calendar together to support a dog charity in the future.
