Pets of the Internet: My Dog Alex

Hi Everyone!

With the rise of social media came the rise of super cute "Pets of the Internet." I don't know about you but I love logging on Facebook and seeing everyone's family pets. To be honest, I'm really only talking about doggies! Sorry if you have a pet snake or gerbil you are really proud of lol I'm a dog lover. I love dogs. They are truly man's best friend. This little guy in the picture with me is my family dog Alex. I love this dog! He can be such a meanie with a major tude sometimes but he's still my widdle weezle! Alex is a Cairn Terrier.

 If you are trying to figure out what kind of dog to get for your family, I totally recommend the Cairn Terrier. Alex is EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT! Very easy to train and always down to go for a run! I am not even joking when I say this dog is intelligent. He learns so fast. He even picks up on things I didn't mean to teach him. For instance, whenever any one of us takes him out in the morning, we would always say the word "outside" at some point. One day I wasn't even talking to Alex and I said the word "Outside" and he ran his little behind to the door waiting for his leash to be put on. I was so amazed. And this is one of the very many things he learns day by day.

Now don't get me wrong, sometimes Alex can be a naughty little dog. The thing I love about him though is that like most dogs, even when you have to tell them off, they still love you no matter what. They are truly man's best friend. Please feel free to share pics of your own pet in the comment section!
