So any tips for me? I've never owned a dog before. I have 3 cats, and have been reading up on stuff about how to teach commands to dogs, the right way to take dogs on walks, and how to introduce dogs to cats.
We are going to crate him when we leave the house for the first few months so we can keep him from eating our kitties when we are both out of the house (and hopefully they will get used to each other really quickly so we can just leave him out). We are also sectioning off part of a room for the litter boxes, so that the cats can get to it but the dog cant, and we are going to put the cat food up on the counter, so that the dog won't stuff his face all day long.
Here's some pictures of him: http://www.petfinder...?petid=12630153
He has a bassety face, a smaller body like a beagle, but he's also pretty long, like a basset. He comes up about half way to my knee (when his face is down, which it usually is cause he likes to smell stuff)
Wish me good adoption-going-through vibes!
What a damn character (Border collie/jack russell terrier)! Esp. teaching that boy to heel on his walks & not pull nutties. 
It is very much possible. 
They sleep butt to butt every morning. 
HOwever we had a phone interview today with a basset hound rescue (seriously, it is harder for me to get a dog then to adopt a child it seems) and it went very well, and they have already called the landlord and stuff, so we should find out on tuesday if we are approved and then will move on to picking a basset.
