Wanted--small dog

I just recently lost my 15 1 2 year old dog that I had since age four months to old age and kidney disease. I still have a 10 year old part Bischon part Poodle but I would like to have a small (around 10-15 lb when full grown) dog of most any breed or combo of breeds to be my cuddle-bug when I have back surgery next month. All my pets have been my life long partners all have been spayed or neutered chipped and up to date on their shots. I prefer a younger dog at this point just because I can t go through the heartache of losing my Bishoodle in a few years just after my older dog and then having another senior dog too. I own my own home with a small yard and I have a roommate who also loves dogs and who can walk them while I m still down after surgery. I d like a short hair who can snuggle up to me for warmth because my other dog has plenty of her own fur to keep warm. I m willing to lovingly adopt a dog that someone just can t keep any more for some reason and it will become a lifetime pet.
