Two pounds of pure hutzpah

My NYC daughter's Yorkie pup is three months old. (That white thing is a Christmas hair bow.) Pees on the floor, gets up on her hind legs to challenge our big dog - gets right in his face. Sort-of does "Sit" and "Stay" thus far, but not really "Come" or "heel."

Can't let the thing out at night when she visits: Our local GH Owl would be on that pup in an instant. (Mr. Owl wakes us up from just outside our window, at 3 AM.)

This is the cutest darn thing in the world - Yap yap yap:

The wonderful thing about dogs, they are all 99% wolf by DNA, and every one of them, from the smallest on up, has the heart of a wolf. There is a video floating around, can't find it right now, where a ten pound Jack Russell bites on the nose of bull, protecting a person getting gored. They are fearless . . . well, except for my female lab, who seems to have a highly honed sense of self preservation, but that another story . . . Sounds like your family is going to take a lot of enjoyment in its newest member . . .

Terriers, in particular the small ones, have the propensity to believe they are actually Great Danes. My youngest has one, name of Sadie, who wants to take on our rescue pit bull from time-to-time.

It is really funny to watch.

We have 4 Yorkies that were saved from a puppy mill. They are a wonder to behold as they discover that they are dogs and all that goes with it. You know - Playing, pooping, sleeping, peeing, pooping, eating, pooping, playing, sleeping peeing, eating - repeat.

They are a joy and lift one out of bad day by simply jumping up and down in excitement as you come in the door from work. I could go on and on about small dogs and their feats of bravery I've witnessed but then I'd get nothing accomplished today.

My first words to a little dog would be, "You will work for food." Thusly, its education would begin.

DH was a field dog man all of his life--until daughter brought home a Malti-Poo. Beyond dog smart: she knew what time of day it was, who was supposed to be doing what at that time and more importantly she knew what day of the week it was--she would tell us very clearly.

You are hooked BD--ENJOY!

My easy keeper Cairn terrier mix lived to be 17, had princely manners and graduated as salutatorian from obedience school. In spite of abuse suffered before I adopted him, he was perfectly housebroken and never snapped at anyone but me, and only once when I accidentally rolled a very heavy easel over his tail. He cost $20 ($.99 a pound). His one major issue was horror of moisture. After being bathed he would careen around the downstairs in manic laps, sometimes doing twenty or more. Very odd. Lovely dog. Miss him.

They're all like that.

Lots of attitude. Our oldest female we nicknamed Doggie Diva.

But they're both smart and brave

Our male (3 1/2 pounds) ended up hanging from a mastiff's neck because the beast got too close to my wife (in his opinion). The mastiff saw the humor in it all.

Fortunately.

If you can get the little mutt to do what you want 60% of the time, you should consider yourself fortunate.

And, yes, in the end they own you, not the other way around.

Bird Dog,

While our 4 month old Brittany puppy weighs a bit more than 2 pounds - the description you provide "Pees on the floor, gets up on her hind legs to challenge our big dog - gets right in his face. Sort-of does "Sit" and "Stay" thus far, but not really "Come" or "heel." is perfect for almost any puppy including ours. I can hear M'Lady discussing the dangers of a hot oven with her right now (we're baking Christmas cookies).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Enjoy your new miniture addition!
