One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for September 19, 2023

Dog with Napoleon complex

Reminds me of the scene in “Patton” where his dog gets scared…https://www.youtube (dot) com/watch?v=iQiDCm3HVyg

Those yippy little dogs can also be nippy.

Small dogs don’t know they’re small

We used to have a pit-boxer mix who was a real pushover. At a St. Francis Day Blessing, a little yappy dog started baking and snarling at Brinks, apparently not caring that Brinks could have probably swallowed her whole. B sat down and looked at me as if to ask, “What’s that?”

My daughter has a Doberman that thinks she is tiny and isn’t aware of how big and intimidating she is.

You don’t just toss small dogs down; they could really get hurt that way.

Met 2 of my sisters friends at a July 4 bash far many years ago, one had a Great Dane, the other a Yorkie. Woman put her Yorkie down about 10 feet in front of the GD and started charging towards it yipping like crazy. The GD jerked its head back while backing up a step, then barked back, once. The Yorkie turned, ran back and hid behind its person.

I had a Doberman who, when someone was at the door, cowered behind my legs. She was a pretty great dog ♥
