  1. I have known a couple chihuahuas that were wonderfully pleasant, mellow, loving, and smart.

    The rest of them, meh.

    I like dogs, dogs like me. I like to think that I speak there language, nonverbally, little body language cues. There was this one time, in West Virginia, where I entered a stranger’s house to sign over a car title. He had a wolf/dog hybrid in there. The animal was giving me the shit eye from across the table, so I tried something: I closed both eyes and dropped my chin to my chest. That animal went BERSERK. Luckily the owner’s son grabbed the animal. Owner said “what the hell did you do?” I shrugged and said “nothing.”

    Heh. I told the animal “You want me? Come get me.”

  2. A few years ago we stayed at a real nice B&B in NorCal. They had a big dog, kind of a mutt, and in 10 years they never had heard him bark. By the time I left he was barking at me, at first an irritated bark, but by the time I left it was a friendly bark. I’ve always wondered if he still barked after I left.

  3. As an emeritus pastor, I have a memory of such a dog one of my shut-ins had. Every time I visited her and give her holy communion, the little “demon” sat beneath her chair and snarled at me, and baring his teeth. Needless to say I laughed at it and completed my mission in the face of great evil (pun intended)

  4. I hate little yappy dogs, I call them ankle biters. They look like over grown mice on steroids and act like it too. I punted one once when I was insulating water heaters for a local utility company in the early 80’s and a customers damned little pest wouldn’t leave me alone, it’s a good thing they didn’t see me do it. I also drop kicked a cat once for crawling in thru my unlocked car window during the Summer when it was very hot outside and eating my lunch while I was insulating water heaters, I was not a happy camper that day.

  5. Going into people’s homes for a living, I meet all kinds of dogs with all kinds of tempers.

    The Chihuahua is the most likely to bite when I’m talking to it’s owner in the home, but who cares? Like Flip, I’ve met some friendly, sweet ones.

    A Chow Chow is not even going to get close enough to get a chance, though. Eff them.

  6. If you watch, that dog doesn’t start the biting game until the man puts a finger in his mouth, and then it goes to town. When the gentleman pulled his finger back at one point and the dog nosed into the guy’s palm, he put a finger back into play. It’s a game they play. And it proved hilarious for us as we watched the video 3 times! 😀

  7. No hate from me, Loco. Just stated facts.

    It’s also true if they had to live in the wild, they’d die out as a breed. They exist purely because humans love them. That ain’t bad, just a fact.
