doggone it, i think i've got it!
thank you for the follow and this amazing piece as it's a boon to me and my own pack.
this was eye-opening as i have two SHRIMP MUTTS... rat terrier/poodle mix... an aries dog named, Oscar, and a brindle 4-lb. chihuaha-brindle-mix, astrological sign,presumed a Cancer, named Clementine... and never having had small breeds in the past, had no idea how bossy these little critters can be!
they're both love-bugs... but omg... they BOTH play reindeer games w/each other and me when it comes to who's on top... thanks for reminding me to be TOP-DOG even w/my Shrimps!
