Although she's gone to doggie heaven my little Mouse got her name because she was so shy and when I met her she ran under the bench I was sitting on and then ran along the base board. She was also very small - just barely 2lbs. (She never got any bigger than 4.5lbs) I laughed and said, "She's so tiny, like a Mouse!" Later when I got home she continued to run from room to room along the baseboards. Part of the reason was, at the time, I had a big female doberman. Mouse was smart and didn't want to get stepped on by her rather ungraceful big sis. Mighty got added soon after when one day she was sitting on the bed with me. Something got her attention and instead of using the puppy stairs I had beside the bed, she just took a flying leap, flew into the air will all fours stretched out and jumped to the floor. My heart skipped a beat but she didn't hurt herself and went tearing out of the room along with her big sis. After that she never did take the stairs going down!
