Cutey :)(:

My mom and I wanted to have a dog for a very long time. My dad kinda didn't want a dog because of the experience he had a long time ago raising 7 dogs at once... after that he didn't want any dogs, but since my mom and I wanted a dog my dad went along with it not knowing that he would fall in love with the dog later on. My mom and I would search at different humane societies and find adorable, kind, and loving dogs there but my mom had a preference. She didn't want a big dog (6 - 15 lbs. would be right) and she didn't want one that shed either. We wanted a Poodle, or a Maltese dog which doesn't shed and is a pretty small dog.

I saw an adorable poodle/maltese at The Pasadena Humane Society. This one was a cutey, which was black and white. I already had a name for the dog. Oreo. We were 2nd on the waiting list... then I knew we weren't going to get her (she was a girl I think). Well one day I was looking on Petfinder.com and saw an adorable puppy who was a poodle/maltese. I quickly told my mom and right away we went to The San Gabriel Humane Society. This puppy was covered in mats... but I knew that that was our puppy :)(: Everything went smoothly in adopting him. He was 6 months old.

We came across so many names for him... but Ace kept going through my moms mind. Ace as in getting him right away... with no problems... we aced it. So Ace it is :)(: The first couple of months were very difficult. He would be hyper day and night nonstop. I thought he was going to be like this forever. Then my moms friend (who has three dogs of her own) told her to have Ace for three months... train him. After three months Ace was beginning to be less hyper. Phew. He was beginning to go to the bathroom outside which was a great thing. So for all you who don't know what to do if you have a new dog and he acts super hyper... wait 3 months because they need to get used to their new environment.

Well, it's been almost 2 years since we've had Ace, and it's been a joy. Ace makes us laugh so hard. He is my brother.
