We love our little handful ,Baxter,see picture above .
He knows my husband is Alpha -male ,but he likes to challenge my role sometimes . He is very bossy over any other animals he meets . We have a new kitten and they are finally playing together until food is around ,then Baxter will chase the cat out of the room .
One thing this dog does ,that we have never had any other dog do ,is that he peers into your eyes with intensity . It is like he is trying to read your mind or send us a telepathic message from his . He will jump up near us and get real close to your face and just stare into your eyes .( I admit sometimes it is because we have ignored a signal that he wants something )
