I feel like I'm under 24-hr. surveillance. ( Which I probably AM.... but it's more likely by the gov't.)

Seriously.... seems you've got the best of both possible worlds.

(Psssst: i think BIG dogs are smarter and better human-companions.)

I have been missing the big dog thump sounds since I lost my last big dog.

This little one is so quiet. She hops up and down on things like a cat.

are actually freaks of nature, perhaps invented by some madman, combining the size and agility of cats with the vocal chords of nervous dogs.

Good you got a quiet one. (Sure it's not really a cat?)

the neighbor's dog. I remember when they got her. We all said "That's not a REAL dog!"

But she is smart and sweet - and cat-like.

bosco. we rescued her from an overwhelmed neighbor. she stayed w my mom when i got married. she was her good buddy. she was a really good little dog.
funny that my mom was always the obstacle to getting a dog when we were kids. then she kept bosco, and when she passed, i got her a little cocker that ate the last bite of every meals she had for 15 years. he was a bit of a trouble maker, but a great companion.

i have 2 terriers and 2 big bully dogs. i love them all for different reasons. but the little dogs are def little dogs.
