I have a female basset that swears my bathroom rugs are a toilet. I have tried to retrain her to pads, it is a work in progress. I think sometimes she does it out of spite.

And I have a male basset that loves being under the covers. He is older and has always been a bit skinnier.

Finally, the biggest of the 3 is the biggest baby. He would die for your little ones. Roll over and let them chew on him. The only fear I have when he is around really small dogs is he forgets he is HUGE.

No way... I roll over on my little pups and they know to move!!!

I worried a few years ago, they are now in our program. We roll, you move... They do.

My Chocolate Lab (who's undersized - around 43 pounds) used to have a good buddy at Agility trials -- a very large male Bernese Mountain Dog named Rudy.

Rudy sometimes forgot that he was HUGE in comparison to my little Lab. They would roughhouse together on the sidelines of the ring -- they would leap up and bump chests, and of course Rudy knocked Shelley sprawling, and she would just pick herself up and wade back in again.

The only time she ever seemed nonplussed was when Rudy somehow accidentally got her entire head inside his mouth . . . she gave this little < yelp! > and froze -- Rudy spit her out and said, "Gee, sorry!" and they kept right on playing.

He was pretty funny as an agility dog, as he was too big for the equipment. Occasionally he had to be pried out of a tunnel, but thank goodness he never fell off the dog walk, he could have gotten hurt.

No matter what breed, I just love the canis variety.

My wolves are one thng... awesome. All dogs, I can never imagine not having one. Thus my 2 little pups. Tiny house, tiny house dogs : )

A home is not complete unless there is a dog to bless it.
