She's soooo cheeky. I do reward her good behaviour with little liver treats and she just eats at my pockets to get to them. If I don't give her more she barks till I could scream. A dog trainer I spoke to today says maybe she's be been bred to close to home. "INBRED" I think he didn't want to say but I do reckon she has problems. We did get her from a breeder but who knows what goes on? She can be loving and sweet then she'll just bite my hand because I'm stroking her. Not too hard, just hard enough to tell me that I'm annoying her!!! My other dogs loved to be patted and cuddled. Tillie does but when she wants to be cuddled. She high tails it when she sees the dog crate as she hates it.

I do love her but she's a odd ball. I can't quite work her out. Under the verandah we have an old fashioned wrought iron bird cage and it's quite big so she jumps on it and tries to drive the canary mad as well.
I distract her and give her food to take her mind off it and five minutes later she's at it again. The only thing she's afraid of is the hose. She will hide in her house and keep out of the way till I put it down and might I add, she will sit it out lol.

She's the cutest looking little dog but certainly doesn't have any of the traits our other dogs have shown. You should see her watch me out the corner of her eye. She's almost human and it's quite uncanny. I swear she thinks she's one of us and we're her pack. ARGH!!!

It's 11.36 PM and she's just settled down and to look at her in her little bed you'd think butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. God love 'er.
