Both Boo and Gracie are very vocal about everything. They chirp and yammer and whoof and snort in addition to their different barks.

But little Miss Gracie Ruth Diva Queen of the World, sasses back when scolded. And not just vocally, she toss her head back and forth to be sure I understand her displeasure. And if really miffed will turn and walk away swinging her bum and tossing her head whoofing the whole time. LOL!! The look on her face the first time I followed her, picked her and got right in her face was priceless. Of course as soon as I was done letting her know exactly who was pack leader in this house I had to go outside and laughed until I had tears coming down my face. Little stinkerett!! It's so hard to discipline her when she does such cute antics, but I really don't want her to start thinking the sun rises and sets on her...even if it really does.

I guess just like kids, you need to pick your battles. It doesn't take anything more then a stern look and a snap of the fingers now and she'll, begrudgingly, straighten up. Just be consistent, if it's NO one time, it's always got to be NO.
