Comments on: NeighborDog http://preraphaelitepunk.com/2005/11/14/neighbordog/ Verbosity of a vegan geekgoth editor. I spend all day cutting out unnecessary wordiness; don't expect me to be succinct here.

I've known many very friendly, delightful small dogs, but some part of the back of my mind persists in thinking of toy dogs, as a group, as a bunch of ill-tempered, yappy bags of snit* with freakishly bulgy eyes and weird breathing patterns. (No offense to Jazz; she has honorary medium-sized-dog status, and this unfortunately hard-to-shake stereotype does not apply to her.) As a sort of coda to the episode, though, I found a small bag of dog treats outside my door this morning, with a note purporting to be from Monsieur, apologizing for his behavior. His humans are nice people, and they're aware of what's going on and are trying to take care of it. It can be a challenge, dealing with a dog's unwelcome behavior, especially when you can't be there to watch them constantly. *Yes, I meant "snit." That is not a typo.

He thinks it's his backyard. His humans need to take the alpha dog role. According to what I've read, small poodles completely lost the good temperament of the standard size poodles when they were bred down to make them tiny.
