> > I had a female peek-a-poo for 14 years.....she was my pride and joy. They are the most wonderful dogs. Everyone who met "Smidgie" thought she was great! She many times tried to mother orphaned babies of all kinds. Chickens, ducks, kittens, and even a parakeet. She has been gone now for 13 years, and I still miss her very much!
I am now looking for another one.......I have had other pure-bred dog's since "Smidgie", but not one that I enjoyed as much, or thought was nearly as smart as she was.
> > I'm looking for information on Peek-a-poos also - can anyone tell me where to find it? Thanks.

> I don't know where you find peek-a-poos, but we have had one for 19 years now. (both his parents were peek-a-poo's as well) He was a wonderful companion for many years. He is now quite old and is pretty near blind and only hears high pitched sounds. About all he does now is sleep and eat. He was one of the best companions a person could ask for. We took him everywhere. He loved to ride in the car and He loved to go camping. My children always said we cared more about him than them and I would tell them, he didn't give us a hard time. He doesn't appear to be in any pain and until that happens we intend to keep him around. We have the laundry room carpeted and a gate on the open door, he stays in there because he bumps into things. He still will take off running so we also have a small area outside for the same purpose. A friend of mine calls it the handicap area for squeaky (that's his name)

> We now have a Pickingnese. He is also a wonderful little dog, although he hates to ride. We have moved to the "country" as we call it and we don't camp anymore, so it works out fine.

> Good luck in finding a peek-a-poo. I highly recommend them.
