\"dogs,<\/a><\/p>\n

Sadie is a small dog. People often call her munchkin, peanut, little one, and many other diminutive nicknames. Because of her size, Sadie often gets away with more mischief<\/a> than a larger dog. A common phrase in my household is “if you were a bigger dog we couldn’t allow this, but since you’re so little…”\u00a0 Or “you really shouldn’t do that, but you’re just so little and cute…”
\nTake her preemptive growling that I discussed in last week’s post, G is for Growl<\/a>. If a large dog growled at me like that, I would be afraid to put my hand near its mouth to remove whatever forbidden item it was chewing on. But with my little Sadie, I just stick my hand right in her mouth, no matter how angry with me she seems. Another example is her tissue destruction pictured above. I think it’s kind of cute when Sadie begs me for a tissue, then excitedly begins tearing it to shreds. If something as simple as a tissue brings her such joy, how can I resist? But if Sadie were a bigger dog,\u00a0her tissue obsession could easily become a problem. It would not be so cute to find garbage cans knocked over, contents spilled all over the floor in\u00a0search of tissues. My little Sadie just gives me a dirty look every time I throw away a tissue, like she’s saying “Why did you waste it? I could have played with that!”<\/p>\n
