Reply #12: This Taurus needs a Pom like I need any other small yippy milkweed type puff ball.

My daughter used to stay with an after school lady who had a Pom named Ginger. Ginger was a pretty sweet dog, but she was about as hyper as it gets. Whenever the doorbell rang the dog would start bouncing and yipping. It was almost as if the yips were propelling her straight up off the floor. Yip=launch Yip=launch Yip=launch Yip=launch Yip=launch...

I actually watched that dog run into a wall, back off, shake her head and then do it all again--all the while yipping madly.

No way would I choose to sustain that for too long in my household.

My big old fat black cat suits me just fine--his energy level seems to match mine these days.

Having said that, I also want to offer that I have always been partial to large breed dogs simply because they usually do not tend to be hyper like a lot of the little dogs can be. I have lived with terriers and other smaller dogs as well as with labs and shepherds. They were all good dogs, and well loved, but my first choice will always be a bigger breed dog.

Still a fun article. Thanks for sharing!
