There's a Terrier in the House

There is nothing like watching another person’s dog to make you appreciate the one you have.

We have been watching a friend’s dog since Monday night. He is a Yorkshire terrier and he is approx. 6 months old. But man is he whiney!! And unfortunately way to small for Jasmine to play with. I tried to introduce them and he barked and growled at her.

At that moment Jasmine got this glint in her eye like she was going to just take one chomp, so I separated them.

So now we have been playing canine trading spaces so everyone has equal time out and play.

On top of all the normal puppy stuff, nipping, yipping, yelping, and chewing this little guy has a couple bad habits that we have never allowed. For example, waking at 5:30 in the morning and crying, loudly. By 6 months our puppies knew better than to start yipping at 5:30 in the morning.

But the girls have done great taking care of him and Mike and I have had very little to do with him. Oh, except when he decided to relieve his bowels on my kitchen floor the first night he was with us, I cleaned that up.

All this brings back memories of the time when Jasmine was about a year old we had to go out of town and left her with some friends of ours. Let's just say she was less than good.

So maybe this is pay back?

Unlike children, who are always better for someone else-dogs really take out their mad on you when they are left behind! And when you come back-they are still mad!
