[IluvLucy]

When I open my bedroom door each morning Lucy and Rebel start jumping up and down in their crate. I swear, Rebel jumps so high his head hits the top!

When I open the back door they both take off, but Rebel stops at the bottom and waits for Lucy. He's barking like a maniac and when she finally decides to come down the stairs he grabs her by her "beard".

I now have to let her out first, then pick him up and hold him until she's down the stairs. If I do it this way he leaves her alone. (He's 4.5 lbs and she' 11) You'd think she's go bonkers on him treating her that way, but she doesn't.
