You're very sweet, my friend Psycho4Bud, and thanks for the nice compliment about Miss Lily. She's one crazy little dog, but I enjoy her. I have another one, too, whose name is Daisy. Daisy looks like the Taco Bell dog.

I like bigger dogs, too, but I have a problem in that larger dogs always sense right away that I'm not the one in charge. I never seem to be able to claim my rightful position as alpha pack-leader. So they get away with murder. The same is true with smaller dogs, too, but at least they don't get into quite as much trouble. I can at least manage to intimidate and/or master smaller dogs some of the time. My husband thinks the problem is because I grew up in a cats-only household and so got into the bad habit of letting animals do what they wish since, of course, that's the way cats function.
