This little fuzzball of cuteness is Oliver. Oliver is my daugher's two year old Shih-tzu. He's the youngest dog of the pack, and the smallest. He's also the instigator of all ruckus that happens within the pack. He's a happy little guy, but quite the little troublemaker. Have you ever heard the expression, "let sleeping dogs lie?" Not Oliver. If any of the other dogs are sleeping, he has to go over and lick their noses and eyes until they wake up. And get angry. And growl. Now anyone (or any dog) knows that a growl from another dog is a warning. Oliver doesn't care. He wants to play and he wants to play now. He is also the champion of a little game we like to call DodgePuppy. Dodgepuppy is when a human is attempting to catch/reprimand a dog, and the dog evades the catching/reprimanding. Oliver plays Dodgepuppy by going under the dining room table, which makes the human pull out all of the chairs in order to get under the table, and then when you crouch down, he dives under the couch. or the loveseat. Or he rockets down the hallway into a bedroom to hide under a bed. The only way to win a game of Dodgepuppy against Oliver is to shut all doors to all bedrooms in the house prior to beginning said game. Then when he rockets down the hallway he has no place to go, he realizes that he is cornered, and rolls over on his back and look pathetic. When this little cutie flops over on his back and looks pathetic, there is no possible way to stay mad.
