Boxer Pal
My darling husband fell in love with a beagle pup he saw at the county shelter and adopted her. She is beautiful and sweet and has all of the energy only a pup can have. We named her Bella. She is 3 months old and weighs a whopping 16 lbs. I already have my boxer, Mikey who is 90lbs and Princess, a black lab who is 70lbs. Mikey and Princess are very athletic dogs, no fat, all muscle. They both love Bella and play with her and keep an eye on her so she doesn't get into too much trouble. Bella has it in her head that she rules the roost and bugs Mikey constantly! She bites him and barks at him and steals his toys and his bones. Not Smart. Mikey must have the patience of a saint because he took quite a bit of abuse before the warning growl began. After the growl came barking and chasing Bella away. That was not enough to deter this little girl from staking her claim as the alfa of the house. Finally, Mikey was so fed up with her that he sat right on her and laid down! Bella let out a squeak and was under him growling and doing her best trying to get free. I thought I was going to pee on myself because I laughed so hard. Bella has now taken to bugging Princess. I don't think she is doing much better because Princess tries to carry her around by the nape of her neck. Maybe we should have named her Rodney 'cause she don't get no respect. 
. We know what you are talking about. We spend so much time just watching and laughing at our little crazy crew.
