Awww, look at the ickle puppy! Cute widdle puppy!

*ahem* She's lovely.

She is She's way bigger than me now, but she's still my baby.

They are TOTALLY lap dogs. Every rottie I've ever met was a lap dog. You may not be able to feel your feet when they're in your lap, but hey.

My German Shepherd is a lapdog, absolutely! And so sweet and affectionate. She gives the cats baths(we're 99.9% convinced she thinks the cats are actually puppies and need to be cared for)

Hahahaha my Rottie is actually scared of my cats.... she'll be happily lounging around, one of the cats does so much as yawn and she's up and out the door in seconds...

Silly dog

Big dogs think they're lap dogs and little dogs think they're German Shepards. I've owned a Tibetan Spaniel and a Pommeranian and they both thought they were big, scary German Shepards.

My friend used to have a Pomeranian. I loved that yappy little shit. So did my crazy great aunt, actually - she used to have three or four, and had a habit of wearing big wide-sleeved jackets and hiding the dogs up the sleeves

There's also this horrible little Jack Russell up the road from me that keeps trying to pick fights with Liv. Not wise, yappy dog. Not wise.

My partners two dogs suffer from a case of small dog syndrome, combined with overexcited puddles.

It does make for a great doorbell though, every time someone comes over, the dogs go off.

And we know that it's one of my partners mates when the dogs go absolutely beserk! (Apparently he did something to one of the dogs when they were younger.) we had a real surreal moment though lately when my friends partner made it as far as the kitchen without the dogs going off their rocker (they were preoccupied with licking my girl friend to death)

I can always chart where my housemate is in the house by the dog's barks. The dog adores me, but my housemate loathes her and when she was a puppy apparently neglected her when I was away, so the dog does not much care for her (well, a part of her doesn't - a bigger part just wants my housemate to love her )

The dog also seems to be able to sense men from reasonably far away, because she announces the passing-by/visit of any men far in advance by barking furiously and growling as they get closer. She's a great security system

Dogs always think they're bigger than they are-- unless they're trying to climb in your lap.

In small dogs, this is especially obvious, since they'll be more aggressive and bark-happy. I think small dogs are aware they're smaller and thus ACT bigger to try to scare off the bigger ones.

Our current dog, Mocha, a miniature poodle is real brave when there's a barrier between her and other dogs, or if she's on the leash. Case in point, when Mom and I took her to the dog park the other day, she was growling and barking in the car, and on the leash as we took her up to the fence for the park, barking at this curious dalmatian that had come up to sniff at her.

Soon as we were past the gate and she was off the leash, boy, was it suddenly very important for her to be hiding behind me.
