She is an unbelievable dog, and loyal to a fault. Shes put her 9 pounds between me and a 130 pound charging great dane at the dog park that was just an excited young dog wanting to play. Knarled teeth, hair standing up on her back and all. And in that weird alpha / beta dog mentality the Dane back off and submitted. It was one of the funniest things I ever saw.
She actually has proven to be very helpful with my sleep apnea. I can literally snore so hard my uvula (little ball in the back of your throat) swells up like a ballon and can cause me to choke in my sleep. Whenever I start gasping for breath she starts diggin at my pillow and licking my face until I wake up and snap out of the episode. All I can say is dogs can be pretty amazing creatures, and alot smarter than we give them credit for.
