Adopted Yorkie is Schizo

Adopted a 5 year old yorkie in May. Had been passed around to several homes
in the previous 6 months and probably treated badly by a young boy in one of
them (so I am told). He gets along with our other 5 dogs fabulously well -
always playing, never fights with any of them. He's usually very
affectionate with me, too, and playful as well. However, he has now bitten
me 3 times (cheek, chin and wrist). He has also nipped at my granddaughter,
although he didn't break the skin. I know at least one of the times he bit
me, it wasimmediately after I had inadvertantly frightened him. If it were
just me concerned, I'd be willing to work on this behavior and even take
pains to watch my own behavior so as not to provoke him. It's the
grandchildren I worry about. Should I just get a tiny muzzle for when the
kids are over? I love the little guy and don't want to give him up.
Anybody have any suggestions?

BWEEEEEEEAAHAHAHAHHAAA!!!

Dogs only bite when they're AFRAID, steevie.

Perhaps you better teach your granddaughter
not to SCARE HURT or INTIMIDATE dogs so
she don't get bit for real WON fine day.

> If it were just me concerned,

You mean, you'd let IT live.

BWEEEEEEAAHAHAHAHHAAA!!!

You're a dog abusing mental case, steevie.

> It's the grandchildren I worry about.

If you can't teach the kids to behave themselves it
looks like it's time to teach him the DIE command,
eh steevie?

No. You should MURDER THIS DOG like you know you will.

> I love the little guy and don't want to give him up.

Right. So you'll MURDER HIM instead.

TO BE FAIR.

> Anybody have any suggestions?

Yeah. Here's WON:

Don't you folks recognize a troll when you see one?

The ineternet is loaded with inadequate losers who
have nothing better to do than try to aggravate others.

Since they don't feel very good about themselves and
can't get any attention in the real world, they get off by
getting attention from you.

By replying to their looniness, you give them
legitimacy in their own eyes and perpetuate
their silly behavior.

Have some self-control and simply ignore this tripe.

Bob, if the dog had a collar with ID, then I would
try to find the owner. However, if there is no ID,
the dog is obviously better off with someone who
cares - YOU. Keep her!
