Our Lab had a couple of Yorkshire Terriers come running at her. They barked continually at her with what they thought was ferocious Intensity. Cleo ignored them entirely and pretended they didn’t exist.
^ Ah, OK, that makes more sense. I’ll just put some whiteout on the screen to fix it… (Maybe you could PhotoShop the file on GoComics, since it’ll be here forever.)
Sophie is still adorable and hilarious of course! Funny how puppies do their tough talking only when Dad’s along to protect them!!
I don’t see a balloon. If Sophie can’t see the difference between a Rottie and a Pomeranian, and I can’t see the balloon, maybe we should both get our eyes checked!
My oldest Pom (Bubba) was sitting next to a Rottie (Jake) during a long sit-stay at class one night and decided to leap into the air snarling at Jake. He didn’t get enough height for Jake to even see him. (Alas, his leap/snarl days are over; Bubba’s nearly 18 now.)
It’s not a brain-size thing, Xane_T. All dogs (except Bassetts) have the same amount of energy, but the toy breeds don’t have enough body to contain it.
This totally explains why small dogs used to bark at my two 100+ lb dogs when I’d walk them. I was always thinking, “are trying to get them to come over there and investigate? ‘Cause you’re sure not scaring them off!” I sometimes thing that only encountering other dogs on leashes distorts some dogs’ understanding of normal dog reactions.

Sophie, the tough cookie!

Keep a safe distance from the Rott, Solphie. You’ll be safer that way.

Rotties can be pretty tough….and pretty big in size to. Don’t mess with it.
Even Bad, Bad Leroy Brown ended up looing like a jigsaw puzzle.

Little dogs always think they are tough….lol

The smaller the dog, the smaller the brain, the smaller the ability to understand they’re squeak-toy sized.

Little dogs don’t understand the concept of “little”.

Sorry for the mistake in this one. Wasn’t supposed to be a balloon in the third panel. Missed that. Editor missed it to.
Frustrating when this happens.
