How Do We Survive The Smallest Terrier-ist? via LaurieJStone
Who knew? We’ve never owned this kind of dog. She’s a Yorkie/Papillion mix terrier with emphasis on Terrier. Apparently, these dogs were bred in England to go down badger, rabbit, and fox holes. This explains a lot. In fact, we’ve had Libby two months and here are 6 sentences I never thought I’d hear myself utter…– The other day I let Libby out on her backyard leash. I sat on the outdoor step, facing the sun. Ah… that felt good. Then I looked down to my right and jumped ten feet.
I tugged Libby back. “Don’t hurt that snake!” Thank God, the animal slithered away. But now Libby goes snuffling for it every time she goes out. I pray that snake takes the hint and moves to the next state.– Don’t worry, I’m talking stuffed animals. And it was so sweet when family and friends brought over adorable little plush-toy offerings for Libby. Little did they know.
So we’ve devised the squirt gun method. A small hit of water is the only thing that shuts her up. In fact, sometimes it even speeds up the bonding process. Maybe she figures if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.– For all her scrappiness, Libby is one of the most affectionate animals I’ve had. She has to be close… always. She’s in my lap when I write . She’s in my lap when I’m reading or lying in bed. Sometimes I have to put her down just to get feeling back in my abdomen.
