I tell everyone that the house is our dog's and she just lets us live there. It's really bad right after a haircut, like right now. She will literally fight us for the covers....and usually wins. She definitely lets us know when we are making her do something she doesn't think is right. That little growl. If she really doesn't think it's right, we get the full out fight. When we eat, she feels the need to eat our food, but she gets upset if we tease her about getting her food. And like Mograna, when it's time to play, or be petted, it's time dang it! Now! Now! Now!
What's really funny is that she is totally an indoor dog, and she'll hear something, another dog/cat/etc outside and she's a real toughy, but open the door and let her out on the porch; turns into an instant chicken.
What's terrible is I love that little dog....
