my last dog (a German shepherd) was an angel sent to help me through my divorce. And then I got to live with her for another 13 years. I grew up with labs and shepherds and always thought of myself as a big-dog person. I don't think I could use the words "little dog" without appending "yappy" to them. And I thought that only big dogs were obedient, and I like a well-trained dog. But then a friend got a rescue Boston terrier-pug mix, and to my surprise, she was the best-behaved dog ever. She sat down at doorways and waited to be invited in or out, you could leave cat food ON THE FLOOR and she would not touch it . . . she was perfect. And such a cheerful little personality. I think I grieved as much as her owner did when she finally passed this year at 15. Sparky opened my mind. So now I've got Chloe, who is also a cheerful little soul, but in the house totally chills out in her dog bed while I'm working. I've only had her six days but have already come to trust her off-leash because she will NOT go more than about 20 feet from me and comes as soon as I call. She appears to be smart as a whip so it's going to be fun to see what tricks I can teach her. And she's a whole lot more portable than my 80-pound shepherd, fersher.
