As some of you know I have this little 10 to 11 lb dog, depending on if he ate dinner and a snack, named Mouse. He is a tad larger than a rat but alot of cats are bigger than he is, not that he knows this. Well he is a spoilded brat who also hogs the bed. I have a king sized bed and he sleeps with me or I should say allows me a cornner of the bed. No matter how many times I start out in the middle of the bed I always end up on the edge with him  curled up in the center of my back.

He has a quilt that is his blanket. He loves to be covered by it and you can't trick him with another one. He naps with it just like a baby does. Sometimes he buries himself under it and at others he just covers up and takes his nap. He does this on his own and will get upset if his blanket is not where he left it. It is a queen sized quilt and he drangs it to where he wants it. He does have a large doggie bed he uses when he is upset, but his blanket is his blanket and no other will do.

He has issues, as in if you call kitty kitty he will come running, he is doing his best to learn how to climb trees, as his buddies the squirrels do this and he can't catch them so he has managed to get part way up one tree. He just hasn't figured out how not to fall  when he reaches this branch that curves out. I think if he ever figures out he could go up the middle then onto the branch we may be climbing up to get him down.

He has never hurt anything he's caught and he believes every one and everything is his playmate. He tries to play with donkeys that stray into our back yard but they don't really see it that way, he has gone after raccoons to make them play, they din't think he was such a hot friend either, and he has tried to play with bugs. He keeps busy tring to find and make new friends. When he isn't running around like he has bees trying to catch

him he is taking a nap with that blanket.

We have learned to except that he is a small confused dog who thinks he is a greatdane and we love him but he really needs to find out he is just a very small dog that not everything wants to play with and other blankets are just as good as his and for crying out loud share the blasted bed!

I don't know just what he thinks he is nor why he has attached himself to this quilt nor do I understand his liking for all types of creatures but I do know he doesn't see anything as a threat if it is a living thing so we have to keep him in a fence to protect him from himself as we have moved to the country and now there are goats, cows, horses and donkeys living all around us and he just wants to play with anything with legs. I know he loves everything and has a heart as big as an elepants in a dog as small as Mouse. He loves everyone and everything even if it doesn't love him back. Such is a day in the life of our Mouse.
