I am temporarily watching Spike the MinPin until he is dropped off later
today. He's a busy little boy and hasn't stopped moving since he came in.
My carpet and floors are utterly devoid anything remotely resembling food.
He has managed to squeeze himself in, under and around all sorts of stuff I
didn't think he could fit himself in, around or under.

The bad news is that some of the stuff he can fit in includes kitchen
cabinets, especially kitchen cabinets where human/dog treats are kept.
Unfortunately for him, I figured out what he was up to before he could
inspect and devour the contents. Also, he can squeeze between legs or
leg/door and get out of the house, something I'm really not used to (at
least he didn't scare the UPS guy). He has a good off-leash recall, and
food is a huge weakness, so it wasn't hard to get him back, but he is not
going to get another chance to do any more wheelies in the yard.


I hate to say it, but he sounds like an itty-bitty Siberian
Husky.

He's an itty-bitty somethin' alright! He's more trouble than the other
three combined. Even if Luna is attempting Hedgie-cide right now.

And while we're on the subject, have I mentioned that we have an Alaskan
Klee-Kai coming to the dog park every once in a while? The cutest little
thing, but I don't care for his temperament.

That's what I've heard. They were bred down from Alaskans
and I understand their temperament is kind of a crap shoot
but mostly not all that great.

Welcome to the World of the Min Pin--100 pounds of dog jammed into a 10
pound package. And as you've found, jamming 100# of dogs into a 10# box
makes it a wee bit explosive.
