Hi Zhaylin,
Oh, Lily is a barker too... I think small dogs really do more barking, just because they figure they'll ward off attacks with noise, since they can't do it with a show of force. My Husky hardly ever barked, except at a dog passing in the street if he was tied out, or a stranger walking into the yard from the street. He never barked indoors. Lily barks at everything, especially when the windows are open.
I was kind of kidding about the zoo. I'm sure if they were allowed, they'd have to be leashed! They'd be eaten more likely than eating. Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my. I have seen a stroller for small dogs, that I'm tempted to get one of, so I can take her to art and craft shows on greens or concerts in the park. It's totally enclosed with mesh, so she could look out, but not get into any trouble. She might like that.
Brooke probably knows that if you're going in the car, you won't take her, but if you're going on foot, you might be convinced to. Lily gets upset if I go out the back door without her, but not if I go out the front door or down the basement stairs. For similar reasons. Lily sleeps in an oversized dog carrier with her bunny, so I don't have to worry about stepping on her in the middle of the night. She likes it in there, and took right to it. It's her cave. She's so small, even though she's big for a Pomeranian. They're generally under ten pounds, but she weighs thirteen. I think she's at full weight now. Shaman weighed 75 pounds as an adult, though he lost about twelve pounds when he got cancer.
Dogs are great! I couldn't have dogs when I was married because my ex was afraid of them because of a scary incident as a child. We had cats then. When I got divorced, I decided I could have a dog again. I had Irish Setters when I was a kid.
Well, I'm off to bed early, as I want to do Reiki and meditation before I drift off to sleep... dream well!
