I absolutely agree. It was just an interesting sentence to modify.

I've mentioned on a few occasions that one of my activities is working as a dog trainer. I have yet to meet a Pit Bull, AmStaff or any other Bully Breed dog that wasn't either a perfect gentleman or a happy go lucky goof.
The dogs I have had problems with have tended to be smaller, yappy things that have taken over their owners lives, and aren't about to give up their pedestal.

I've had the same experience. Chihuahua's are the bane of my damn existence because they're yappy, annoying little fuckers.

True dat.

In fact, one nipped me at the location where you, me, and Beast shot.

lol HOW DARE YOU.

Beast was a little weird about being pet too, if I'm remember correctly. He would never nip at anyone, but I remember him keeping his head down pretty low. Poor baby.

I'd rather get nipped by several than lose you to the Left Coast. Say it isn't so!

Zorro had to be euthanized a few months after you visited (I think that was the chronology). Kidneys went bad. Now we have Arlo, who is a truly unique puppy. He literally has a security blanket, which he nurses every day in my mom's lap. She always wanted a lap dog; none of her previous dogs cooperated with that idea, but Arlo insists upon it. Figures that he's the biggest dog we've ever had. 35 pounds isn't in the monster dog category, but for a beagle it is, and for a lap dog... well. Charlie-O is also doing fine, but is quite gray around the face. My mom calls her Princess Charlotte.

I don't have photos of Shorty (the half-Chihuahua) online.

I remember Arlo and his security blanket. He was adorable. smile I'm glad he's doing well.
I'm sorry to hear about Zorro. sad That's really sad. But I'm sure Zorro was well loved and lived a great life.
I'm glad to hear that Charlie is doing well. smile

What was the chihuahua mixed with?

Ah, then Zorro was before you visited. It's shocking how time has passed.

Shorty was a beagle/chihuahua mix, though I think he might have had some terrier in him. He had the breathing problems of beagles and the shivering problems of chihuahuas, and he was adorable.

He also justified all the comments about small dogs being nippy. The only thing he ever perforated, though, was the mail.

A dog being nippy/enjoying biting and chewing isn't such a big deal to me, so long as they're taught what's okay to chew on, ya know?
Nipping is in a chihuahua's nature. That's totally fine, as long as they chew on appropriate things. Things that aren't me lol

at just over 70 pounds my bully is quite convinced he is a lap dog, in the most literal sense, he'll climb up and try to make himself comfortable on anyone that trys to sit on his sofa (yes, he has his own)

He was such a good dog it convinced me to get mine. Later we did a shoot/doggie play date when her dog had grown up.

Why do you name your images after an ex not-so-widely-loved President?
