Malteses are little bitty yippy dogs. Quintessential lap dogs. I know they can bite - but to maul you? Yeesh. A poodle - well, not the more masculine dog, but I can see one getting in trouble with one.Rexer25 wrote:I am very unintuity today, Weyoun.

Re: Ungrateful b*tch
I should have said 'frou-frou' in place of sissy. And certainly, as AJ stated, standard poodles are not sissies by any means. Although that silly haircut some owners insist on is. I think most smaller breeds have that thing about chasing bigger dogs. My first Shih Tzu ruled over our Black Lab/Great Dane mix, and routinely chased the neighbor's two rotties out of our yard. Although I suspect, if you asked the Rotties, they 'let' him do it.Excuse me, but poodles are not sissies. We had a miniature when I was a kid, and he would routinely chase bigger dogs out of our yard. And he would attack anyone he thought was threatening a member of our family.
From that photo the dog in question looks more like a poodle than a Maltese. Maybe a Malti-poo, although the one's I"ve seen are usually a bit smaller.

Standard poodles certainly are not sissy dogs. Those miniature variations and various mixtures on the other hand look pretty sissy-fied to me. The one in this story certainly looks to be rather sissy-fied. Then again it is France!Thousandaire wrote:Excuse me, but poodles are not sissies.

But most miniature dogs are kinda sissy-fied. Can you really call any full grown animal that you could potentially fit in a small toaster oven a dog? I think not!
Looks more like a long haired version of a giant Gambian rat.
On second thought that's kind of insulting to the rat...
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Blech! That thing needs to wash its fur!
I wouldn't even scritch that!
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.
