My dog is faster than your dog.

This little terrierist runs like a nuclear rabbit. Let her loose at the dog park, provide her with a chaser or chase-ee (she has no preference as long as she gets to run) and her tiny legs become a blur of motion. She is a dog of action.

Your dog, sad to say, is no match for this one. No offense. That's just how things are.

No doubt. Mine is a luxury dog.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Mine would love the challenge. Her motto is "Cats, they're not just for breakfast any more".

 

[Sandy_Fox]

Well, all I gotta say is that I'm sick and tired of paying for my damn dogs speeding tickets!

I believe it. My friend's dog is one of those small, tight-knit, energetic little 15-pound dogs. Mine is a large, shambling, shaggy 100-pound thing. When they play, her dog likes to lead mine to chase it in tighter and tighter circles until eventually she falls over.

It's all about the turning radius.

Is Daisy a Rat Terrier? Those are the COOLEST little dogs!

Sure are! The terror-ier looks just about like this.

That made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

Daisy's strategy is to get all the larger dogs chasing her and then run underneath a picnic table. At least one of her chasers always bumps his head.

Fortunately, their skulls are rock-hard. They can hit the table hard enough to spill beverages, and they shake it off and keep playing.

No, I love rat terriers (my dad had one when he was a kid) but Daisy is more of a low-rider, like a Jack Russell terrier with a little mini-dachshund in the mix and perhaps a dash of beagle.

VM: That's a handsome little dog. We should race them sometime; we'll need tiny monkey-jockeys...

Hmmm . . . does the hotel in Chicago have a pooch-motel section?

In general, I absolutely despise little dogs - I call them "shake and piss dogs" - but the exception to that is a rat terrier. I think the difference is that they don't realize they're little.

As a British friend of my recently put it, "any proper terrier knows that size is relative . . . to its ego!"

That's the way I describe Pepper, twenty-three pounds of dog and seventy-seven pounds of attitude. You think she isn't a rottweiler? Just ask her!

A lot of hotels allow dogs, but too few allow monkeys in jockey silks.

maybe we could dress them in itty-bitty cowboy hats instead?

The Secret Service might have a problem with monkeys in tiny cowboy hats. Too confusing.

Has she caught a squirrel yet?

Just 'cause.

 

[Elianna]

Speaking of dogs, mine are snoring right now. Some good they are. You'd think sled dogs = energy and great work ethic. But no! WORTHLESS! And their hair clogs the Hoover.

(But you gotta love them!)

 

[BlackShanglan]

Mine has just watched me reading the thread and wanted to remind me of some of her own fine qualities. She came over to where I was sitting in my chair, reared up and put a paw on either of my shoulders, and licked me earnestly all over my face. When she stands all of the way up, she's nearly as tall as I am - taller if I'm in a chair.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

If she was big enough I could tattoo her score on her nose like the old WWII fighter jocks used to do.

Pocket gophers: 2
rats: 1
Possums: 4
Cats: Still trying
Squirrels: Can't shoot 'em out of a tree in the suburbs but dad is thinking this over verrrrrrrrry seriously.

Polo has three speeds. The first speed is when he is playing with Labs and Retrievers, dogs that don't run all that well. The second speed is when he is playing chase and he takes the command with 4 or 5 dogs chasing him. He loves this game.

Then, there's the third speed, where he kicks in his turbo charger and he is full tilt, totally spread, flat out with ears back and in his bullet position. Not the short legged Rat Terrier of old, my new breed of Rat Terrier, mated with Manchester Terrier, Whippet, and Italian Greyhound is the fastest dog at the dog park.

He's even beat a greyhound because he can zip and zag and stop on a dime and jump over the dogs or duck underneath the dog. Terriors are terrors. We haven't had a squirrel in our backyard since we got Polo 4 years ago.

I hereby lay down my leash and challenge your dog to a race with my long legged, 20 pound dog (lol).

Moreover, Rat Terriers hold the record for killing the most rats, according the Guinness book of records, one Rat Terrier killed 1,300 rats in 7 hours on a farm in England. They are a very fiesty, brave and loyal dog. They think they are a big dog.

Why did that remind me of some folks here?

 

[Emerald_Dragon]

My corgi would love to herd all of the other dogs while they are racing!!! And man can he turn on a dime! He is pretty damn fast even with his short legs!!

 

[shereads]

This morning Daisy, Bringer of Death, Instigator of Fights with Great Danes, Challenger of Postal Workers, Nemesis of Rodents and Stalker of Pigeons, faced off with a butterfly on the grass...and backed down. Apparently it let her get closer than she really wanted to be; so she laid her ears back and skulked away.



Any creature too dumb to flee in terror when Daisy threatens it, is clearly mad and can't be trusted.

 

[shereads]

<thud; shake>

I can't imagine why.

Polo's ears are Daisy-esque.
