Schroeder will never be much of a huggy, but he sniffs Gabriel from time to time and seems to have settled into his role as an observing guardian angel. He also finds all the wailing at diaper-change time a bit distasteful.Algernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698040927871199780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33980200.post-73475043054065069792008-05-21T19:42:00.000-05:002008-05-21T19:42:00.000-05:00lol - our neighbour, while babysitting us, would s...lol - our neighbour, while babysitting us, would spread out a rug in her back yard and put her white alsatian, Fammo, in charge.

He ended up being a total nusiance with the kids as they started toddling around. Stealing food from them, nosing their diapers, etc. He died when our youngest was about two. <BR/><BR/>Our next dog, a rottweiler, ended up being the benchmark to whom all dogs should aspire! Angus LOVED his family and was very protective of the kids and me! We've since had two more rotties (only one is still with us and she's 8) and I think they're the greatest dogs around!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33980200.post-14734596833505370722008-05-21T08:31:00.000-05:002008-05-21T08:31:00.000-05:00We have a min-dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier named...We have a min-dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier named Scrappy among our canines. He's twelve pounds of dynamite and rules the pack of much larger dogs with his teeth and intensity. They seem to acquiesce as much out of amusement as respect. Especially Oscar, the Bloodhound mix.<BR/><BR/>Typically Dachshunds and JRTs are terrible with children, but this little guy is a notable exception. And he is loyal to a fault. <BR/><BR/>Much like Gomez. :)Mary O.
