I got a dog (also a tiny, adorable rescue mix) four years ago. I totally agree that it was a life-changer for an introvert like me. Even when Crosby isn't with me, I have a much greater tendency to initiate conversations with people (often about dogs lol), and it's a lot less painful than it used to be. He's also helped me with my "EQ" -- he's a very intuitive little guy, and it's helped me realize how much can be learned from non-verbal cues.
They really are magical little creatures, aren't they? I'm just so grateful I didn't wait any longer to get my first. Life is better with dogs!

OMG, you took him on a plane. I've never flown with Magic. Was it an easy experience? He looks like a little darling.
It went better than I thought it would! He wasn't thrilled and whimpered a bit, but was otherwise a great travel buddy. You should try a short flight with Magic and see how she feels about it.
Odd question maybe, but what did you do about his need to go to the bathroom? A long day of travel and being stuck inside the entire time, I mean sometimes a doggy has got to at least pee.
No, that was definitely part of the consideration. The Dallas airport has a central outdoor area, so we took him there for the layover. He was cooped up for about 5 hours max at a stretch, which is well within his toileting window.
