I brought Sammy over to PetsMart to get her picture taken with Sandy Paws!
For some reason we were the only cat in line - there were about 20 d*gs
wandering around, but I didn't see one other cat.

A 110 pound German Shepherd barked at her as she was standing up in the back
of the shopping cart peering out at everyone and she stuck her tongue out at
him then hissed - his owners almost died laughing!!

All we have right now are the Polaroids, and I don't have a scanner, so I
have to wait three days for the digital pictures to be posted on their web
site before I can download them and put them on *my* web site and then show
all you guys how sweet she looked sitting on Sandy Paws' lap!!!!

Hugs,

Mandy once hissspit at two rottweilers, pulling at her leash to get as
close to the fence separating her from them as possible. The rotties
started barking hysterically, and I and their owner came to see what all
the ruckus was about. The Rotties were brought indoors, and Mandy was
satisfied that she had once again defended her territory properly.

I thought it was funny, too, since there was no way the animals could get
at each other. But honestly, Mandy is completely lacking in common sense;
she has no conception of the possibility that it might sometimes be a good
idea to avoid danger, or move to another area.

Nikki once slashed the nose of a pitbull who came a little to close up
for her liking. You should have seen the utterly baffled look on the
poor pitbull's face as it backed away. "But... but... I was just saying
hello!"

DH tells a story about a rather small female cat he once had, who
chased a German Shepherd out of her yard with its tail between its
legs. :-)

Felix once scared me nearly into heart failure at TED's office by
cruising over to a Rottweiler we didn't know and snuggling up,
power-purring his little heart out. Fortunately, the d*g didn't have a
problem with cats, he was just REALLY confused [but friendly enough
with me]. His human thought it was hilarious. [I don't use a carrier
when taking Felix to TED because he seems to be a bit claustrophobic.
We use a harness and leash.]

That's really sweet. (Though I can see why it scared the pants off you!)

When I was a teenager I had a cat who would go into the neighbor's yard
and chase their German Shepards around.  I'd get phone calls from them
asking me to come get my #&*@ cat!  Aries would also chase other cats
up trees and then lie under the tree to keep them there...

My sister's cat Panther used to chase my Nikki up into trees when they
were both out on the island in the summers. Then Panther would sit under
the tree and watch Nikki until someone came and shooed him away so Nikki
could climb down.

Our cripples Siamese used to scare the living daylights out of our neighbors
hound.  Sam would hide in the bushes and make noises like a mountain lion.
Poor old dog would get so upset he'd pee himself.  It embarrassed his owner
something awful.

One of our receptionists has two little dogs, a poodle and a shih tzu.
Well, little Chickee and Joette came into the clinic on Saturday for
vaccines, and Chickee thought he would defend his territory by barking
at a dog named Kaz

Kaz is a St. Bernard, and he's not even full grown

Sheesh!!

We have a saying,

The smaller the dog, the bigger the ego.

It doesn't work for cats, because let's face it, every cat has a
massive ego :)

Was Chickee the Shih Tzu? They're dumber than posts. (If he's the poodle,
then shame on him - *they're* supposed to be smart!)

And it always gets set off by the sight of bigger dogs.

It's true.  Absolutely.  My Golden pal, Boswell, used to live in an
apartment building in Manhattan that was busting with Pekes, Yorkies,
Malteses, etc.  Oh yeah, and worst of all, the Jack Russell
Terrorists.  Every day when going for his morning walk, poor Boz had
to run a gauntlet of homicidal little yappy dogs, busting with
testosterone at the sight of him.  Of course, their owners would never
consider the possibility that their little darlings could be bullying
a bigger dog. :P

When I was a kid, we didn't have pets (dad had bad memories about when *he*
had pets as a kid - loong story, but my grandfather was a@$$hole.  Glad he
passed away before I was born).  Across the street from us they had a couple
of dogs, one was a great-dane-sized Doberman, named Cinnamon (his tan was
more red).  First cat that Cinnamon ever met was a tough ol' tom that lived
up the street.  Nearly removed Cinnamon's nose from his snout.  Years later,
I was playing with a kitten that belonged to another neighbor, holding it
and saying cusey-kitten things, and standing in my parent's driveway.
Cinnamon came trotting up to us (he was a friendly dog & a big chicken,
unless you were trying to 'break into' his owner's property), and I turned
to greet him like I always did.  You have never seen a d*g put on the breaks
more fast, and his eyes almost popped out of his poor head, when he saw that
bitty I was holding.  He ran back across the street and hid behind his
master's front bushes.  I even thing he left a puddle in my parent's
driveway.  Poor d*ggie LOL.

You know how they say of some dogs that they're "big dogs in small
bodies"?  All the Dobermans I've ever known were little dogs in big
bodies.  What a bunch of babies. ;)

I used to work for a man who had a dog that looked like it was
probably a Doberman/Black Labrador mix, and weighed probably 45 to 50
pounds.  Whenever a thunderstorm came along, the dog would crawl
under his owner's bed and howl until the thunder stopped.

The most timid dog that I ever met was the poodle (25 lbs or so)
belonging to a neighbor, back when I was a teenager.  It once dashed
through our yard when our cat and her kittens were outside, and the
cat (10 lbs) took off in pursuit.  When neither animal returned after
10 minutes or so, I went to investigate.  The poodle was pressed
against his back door, trembling, while my cat sat a few yards away,
glaring at him.  From that point on, whenever the poodle got loose,
it wouldn't come anywhere near our yard.

We can hardly wait.  You have a lot of faith in something to take your
precious one around strange d+gs.  MLB

Oh, she was not for one second in any danger - she was in the deep part of
the shopping cart on her leash and harness - the d*gs were on the floor on
their own leashes.  Anyone who tried to harm my widdle Sammy would have to
go through me first!  Sammy thoroughly enjoyed the outing - she's not afraid
of anything, she was even tugging on Sandy Paws' beard!!

Hugs,

Well, what nerve of him to nark at Mighty Sammy!  I'll bet she put him
in his place. ;)
