Gangsta Soph

I don't even know where to start. This girl has been raised to be a sweet little lap pooch. She was spoiled from birth. She wasn't born in a puppy-mill-ghetto. She was born into a loving home, where I adopted her into a loving family. It's not like she's on the streets with pit bulls or anything, fighting for scraps. Heck, she's 3.5 pounds, how far would she get anyway? She's a meal for a house cat & a light snack for a beagle, c'mon now! She had her potty-training class Saturday. I got her the cutest outfit! It was a 1-piece with a pink belt, a skirt, and a shirt with "Drama Queen" on the back. Very fitting to her personality. Well, we got to the class early, at PetSmart. A nice lady came up to us as I was holding her, walking through the store. When she commented on Soph's aggressiveness, I said, "Aww, just hold your hand out and let her sniff, and she'll be fine." She did, and Sophie bit her. OOPS! Usually, she chills out & sniffs, and makes friends. Evidently, that wasn't her day, because she bit 3 more people that day, including her teacher. Way to make friends, girl!!! Her trainer is the daughter of an associate of mine. She was wonderful! She is very gifted with dogs, well, except that Sophie is neurotic. She loved Sophie anyway :). I am confident that enrolling Sophie in her further education classes will help with the Soph's stress level. I must say, at the rate she's going, she's looking at a stroke in the near future! At home, she is such a doll & a sweetie!!! She's so kind & tiny!!! I can give her a tiny treat, and she takes forever to bite it from between my fingers so that her teeny teeth won't scratch my fingers!!! She's the most loving baby-doll I've ever had in my life! I think she'd be happier, were she not so stressed! This isn't the half of it! Afterwards, my friend, Rachel, called me and invited us to got for a walk with her and Tucker, her beautiful Lab pup. Tucker wanted so badly to befriend Soph, but she, barely the size of his head, nearly took his little nose off every time he came near her! I should have named her "Taz" like the tasmanian devil or something. "Cujo" would be very fitting. I have faith in my sweet girl though!!! I'm signing her up for the other classes in hopes that everyone can see her true personality instead of this rabid crazed freak! Then, we'll get us a real guard dog for her to hang out with. I know she means well trying to be my bouncer, but baby girl could get hurt bad by a thug hamster if she got too ballsy!!!!
