Fighting the Featherweight Pup

I'm a new animal lover as of almost a year. I am one of those women that coo and fuss over toy and miniature anything's. So when it came time for me to step into the dog owner world, I thought I was fully equipped. Wrong, wrong, wrong, did I mention that I was completely wrong!? This little creature otherwise known as Empress from the land of Bichon Frise is an absolute beautiful bandit! Looks the part, plays the role, makes you initially want to just pick her cute and cuddly self up, but noooo this chick is cunning, crazy and suffers from every known possible version of ADHD!


Let me just give you a quick synopsis of her ongoings today. A simple walk around the neighborhood was what I signed up for. Lil terrorizer had other motives as she stealthily walked around the perimeter of our manicured lawn, to have a mini stake out of the unsuspecting mailman. Now me already knowing this foe, I redirected our path. Problem averted, I think. Great, she's peed. Score number 1, I feel as I take out my lil plastic bag, awaiting the inevitable circle and squat for her less than private poop stance. Not too soon, some neighbors of ours emerge, ok..I'm cool with that..oh crap..the children!! No! Empress switches her off button to full blown coo coo for coco puffs mode and she's off like a laser beam! Now I did tell you she is a Bichon right!? She only stands to right above my knee when on her hind legs. Now back to the children, I am already fearing for their safety so I'm running and simultaneously clicking the lock and otherwise known as the choke hold mechanism on her leash! She takes no hints, subtle or in her own dog language, so I proceed to try and hold her so they lovely inquisitive 4 and 5 year old innocents can pet her. She fights us all! Freedom she beckons! Winds up throwin' me a left paw to the lip, and I almost forget that this was the sweet lil puppy that I wanted oh so much. I quickly distracted the children with the call of their mother and aggressively told Empress to say bye. No more walking for this champ, my lip was sore. She'll have to hold her back door duty! Pun intended. This featherweight pup has won this round..she shall not win another..
