Hi Julie. I'm Lacey, stay at home mom to Austin (5) and Alex (3). My husband is also in the military (Airforce) and we are currently stationed at Ramstein Germany. What branch of the service is your dh in? We have one fawn and white smooth coat chihuahua, Fifi. She is 20 months old. We also have an english bulldog puppy, Stella (4.5 months old). I would make sure to introduce your new pup to the family slowly. He's gonna be scared and may be a little nippy towards your other pets, I know Fifi was...lol. Make sure you have a crate/kennel to put him in while you are away from the house and at night. Little Roscoe will feel safe in it. You may also want to get a hot water bottle (or empty 2 liter soda bottle) filled with warm water to put in the kennel with him. This will make him feel like he's laying next to his mom and litter mates (Helps with whining at night). Some human food is ok for dogs to eat. Just make sure if you do decide to feed a little human food that you do it in moderation. You don't want him to get stuck on people food and refuse to eat dog food or to get an upset tummy. Fifi (and Stella) loves scrambled eggs! She also likes bananas, apples, green beans, and cheese. Of course she mainly eats dry kibble, these are just occasional snacks. You may also want to pick up a tube of nutrical (high calorie supplement) to have on hand in case Roscoe becomes hypoglycemic. Make sure that he eats many times a day to avoid this. I did look at his pictures. He is darling! Well, now that I've written a book...lol, Welcome to the group! :) Lacey Fifi's dogster page: http://www.dogster.com/?170558
