The first, Honey seems to love big dogs (my husband has pit bulls and she LOVES playing with them), but she is so scared of little dogs. Any dog with her same energy or size freaks her out. She will run and climb on my leg for me to pick her up. I've tried to have her play with other yorkies and chihuahuas and it seems she's too scared. Does anyone else have this problem? I realize she's raised with big dogs, but to not be afraid of big dogs and only little dogs? That seems strange to me.

The second question is, how do I go about putting a bow on her. I've tried and I have to fight her till the end. She hates being touched in the face area, so it makes it hard to groom. Any ideas as to how I can get her to calm down?
