| Handsome devil! I'm totally in love! What a poster that shot would make. You can tell Bruno knew he was a very capable, confident dude just by his body attitude.

YT Addict | Bruno reminds me of a friend of ours, who had two. One night my hubby was helping him load some thing into the car. Our friend ran back into the house. So my hubby was going to keep loading, not knowing the pair were sitting in the back seat, nice and quiet, when my hubby reached in all h e double l broke loose. Scared the heck out of him., and he was a Marine on active duty, and had done three tours in Viet Nam. We still talk about that, and it was almost 40 years ago.

| This is one of my big concerns and I try to do all I can to keep Lola safe. If someone bends down to see her, I bend down too and put my hand on her leash over the hook. If she's in her stroller I do the same thing. If a kid wants to see her I pick her up. I always have her leash wrapped around my hand. I decorated her leash with "rhinestone" ribbon, so it would be hard to cut. (It looks like rhinestones but it's just metal) If I'm holding her and someone wants to pay attention to her I wrap both arms around her. If I'm distracted I pick her up. She's never outside alone. Some people really do lose their minds around a beautiful yorkie, and in my experience middle aged women are the worst offenders and kids (not toddlers) are the most respectful. A woman who owns a farm stand walked up and tried to take her out of my arms, I told her no and she got really offended, so I told her Lola gets very wiggly when other people hold her and she was a little less offended. It wasn't a lie though, Lola won't even let the pet store employees she's known her entire life hold her. A lot of middle aged women also do things like grab her face, and get annoyed when I tell them not to so I walk away. This is why Lola prefers kids and men. Lola is afraid of being stolen too, as soon as someone jokes about it she's like DONE and tried to climb my shoulder. She also gets nervous if I put her in my aunts car if my aunt drops something off or if we're at someone's house and I have my shoes on, she's afraid I'm going to leave her. |

He always slept at the foot of my bed, or on it, whenever he could and many times I awoke to this 95lb giant snuggled right up to me. Once we came home and found one of the 6 kittens missing. Bruno had put her behind him in his basket for safe keeping. The others, we guessed had been bullying it whilst Mom was outside, as a repeat process subsequently revealed. He carried this tiny creature in those massive jaws with the tenderness of her mother. He, like Crystal knew my right hand was paralyzed and spent hours trying to lick it back to life! Hyper intelligent too, he never troubled people, or other dogs. One of those slightly cross eyed looks, with the ears straight up was always enough brrrr! A gentle Hercules, with a great big heart. Yes they are like racehorses, beautiful graceful lines and he never ran, he just loped somehow! I think he would have been a great pal for tiny Crystal and what a bodyguard too! Back on thread, sorry ladies, we too are also suffering a surge of Dog thefts in the UK, by immigrant gangs from Eastern Europe. (whom we can't stop coming here, thanks to the craziness of the European Unions laws, supersceding our own!) Many are taken whilst owners are walking them. The biggest rise has been in thefts of cocker spaniels, following an increase in popularity after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge adopted a puppy, Lupo. What a world! | |

Whilst I think I helped him after his ordeal in the mines, he was always very sure of himself and when you looked like that why not? When I took him on, my father had just died, I'd not long had the accident that paralyzed me and my first wife left me. Many were afraid he'd trip out and kill me one night. Somehow we needed each other as friends and the bond was unbreakable from first meeting, until he had to leave... | |

| I'm very weary of people who ask me questions about any of my dogs I've owned. I have known families who have had their pit bull puppies stolen. So I can certainly believe this to be true for yorkies. I don't share many details with strangers on the cost, where I got them or much else. Most people aren't so shady but there's that handful that will do anything to try to take what you have.

I have a tide table as a start up item in the Mac, accompanied by a sunrise/set chart. These seasonal accoutrements are necessary however, as we seem to attract a particularly ugly set of summer visitors these later years unfortunately. Mainly drunks, who see little dogs as target practice! In the season I wait, until they're all guzzling in the bars as the sun sets. Alternatively it's a 5am walk, as hues in the east assemble - with the fresh beach and a new day to ourselves - and the blessed peace of seclusion.

Thank goodness you and Bruno come into each others lives when you did. It sounds like he was a bodyguard, soulmate, psychiatrist, physical/ occupational therapist, social worker, roommate, family member and best friend all rolled into one. And obviously, you were his everything and a savior to him as well. It's amazing how transforming and fulfilling life can be for a human and his dog. Maybe every Yorkie owner needs to have a big Dobie along to keep the #1 stolen breed safe from all those dog thieves!!!

My Chris always referred to him as our 'Doberbaby', cos underneath that's what he really was. I was trying to find a picture of them together last night, but it's in an old version of Photoshop and I can't open it. Anyway my Chris was Elizabeth Montgomery's virtual double and was often asked for autographs, especially in LA! I'm thinking of moving out to the country next year, before I hit 70, too many people round here now. If I do. I'd fancy having one from a trusted breeder as a pup. He could be Crystal's outrider - as well as mine and Irina's too, this world is becoming such a violent place... An update on dog thefts apparently a Bichon Frise was grabbed in the woods 40 miles away yesterday! The elderly owner was less than 50 yards distant at the time. She's offering a $1500 no questions asked reward, hoping the swine who took it will return her... | |

One time, I was walking him on a horse trail by our home & a Bull dog was walking by, Lex lunged @ him & flipped me over! I landed on the mud & dirt but somehow I had not lost grip of his leash. TG nobody got hurt & the Bull dog owner was understanding, he knew Lex was just being protective of me. Now I know he could've been dog aggressive too, maybe.
