Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 We just got a Beagle puppy, my younger daughter, Kim, just brought the puppyy home. Wow, what a shock, but he was so cute, so he has eaten every one of her shoes except one pair. I keep Jen and my shoes away. I took one look at him and knew he was a hand full. But Kim my younger daughter who just decided we were going to have a new puppy is learning, he working toward making herclean up after herself, he is great teacher!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Judging from the miniture poodles I've met (my Dad's cousin has two and we visit her on occasion) I'm not sure that's a good choice of breed for an autistic kid. They're great dogs, but they have a very high-pitched bark and they tend to bark *a lot* when they're excited. They make my ears ring! Of course, your daughter may not be as auditorally hypersensitive as me.
