But thank God, he lives here in Texas where all he has to do is have fun and "work" keeping squirrels and big birds and strange noises barked out - and to love me back. When he turns in his guard duty badge for a time, he can cuddle like an angel and has never left my side during my rehab from recent surgery. He's a wonderful mix of love, loyalty and lionheartedness. His favorite activity in the world is "training" - learning and doing his obedience tricks. And there is no greeting in the world like the one I get when coming home to Tibbe! |
I love Tibbe's photo... I cannot look at it and not smile! I like the fact that some of these guys (and girls) carry on the terrier tradition of an intense desire to put "food on the table". I'd like to see another class introduced by AKC that showed the Yorkie in a short clip, with their sleeves rolled up and ready to work. They're not prissy dogs... they're working dogs and are happiest when they have a job. Pound for pound, not another dog can match them for intensity and purpose.
