Oh yeah, I know, didn't mean it cause they were short, but rather cause of how people treat them. Carry them around, either in purses or their arms, treat them like babies, the clothes, dog strollers, etc. Not that clothes are so bad, some of them are kind of cute or funny and some dogs need a shirt, sweater, or coat or something to keep warm, but some people go all out with full on outfits and stuff and dress them up like they're a doll or a real child. Not to mention picking them up to "protect" them from dogs or whatever (unless it's an emergency and the dog is about to be killed or seriously injured, I say let them be a dog and interact with other dogs) or taking them around in strollers or purses instead of letting them walk, or thinking aggression and protectiveness is "cute" or "funny" and stuff like that. So many aggressive and/or yappy small dogs. Dogs that lunge and snarl at other dogs on walks or at people who get too close to their owner or jump all over them yet that behavior is accepted, even cute, and just how little dogs are. Not necessarily. They're just not trained. And if a big dog ever did even one of those things, they would be labeled a dangerous dog or "vicious" and "mean", a killer, scary, etc. and jumping would be nipped right away because they could injure someone. There's far more vicious, aggressive, and plain nasty chihuahuas and toy poodles than pit bulls, rotts, GSDs, and other "dangerous" breeds. Just the big breeds do s lot more damage when they bite. People aren't likely to report a little nip that barely broke skin from their friend's poodle. Sad thing is all these dogs are great dogs when trained and raised right but so many people have such a negative impression of the breeds from all the terrible, spoiled, baby ones.

I hope for all of that too, so much !

I’m doing much better, thanks. Moving is easier than it was. Still a little achy in the upper thigh, but now I’m not sure if that’s the back or if my hip replacement is giving me grief. It’s only 16 years old!
