miss dixie belle vs. the rooster

One of my new puppies is a terrorist. She terrorises her brother Gus all the time, she chases him and bites his tail. When he retaliates, she jumps in the basket and cries. She discovered the kittens a few weeks ago, and they have been a target of her fun since.

It doesn't matter to her that the kittens are bigger, she chases them and tries to bite their tails, they play tag for a while then they slap her and go on their merry way.

Lately, miss Dixie has been fascinated by the rooster, in particular what is left of his tail. Now i did warn miss belle, dog, you don't want to mess with that rooster, it will flog you, but children and puppies are quite similar, and she did want to mess with the rooster....

I put her and Gus outside for some puppy playtime, and little Gus who is about 6 inches long and 4 inches high prances off in the grass to explore, and Miss Dixie Belle takes off after the rooster. She snuck up behind him, and bit what is left of his tail...He was she shocked and offended he flew straight up in the air flapping his wings and crowing...Dixie ran away and fell in the fountain in the flower bed, after i rescued her she hid under my skirt, as the rooster was still having a fit....

I told her, your'e a mess, you need another bath, and i have to wash your new dress, didn't i tell you to leave that rooster alone???? Nicole said Mom , your'e talking to the dog again, like they understand you...they understand, they just listen like your'e little brothers do...I must say Jonathan 500times a day...

Jonathan, do your chores, Jonathan do your chores, Jonathan do you homework, Jonathan practice the piano, take a bath, change your clothes, put on your good shoes for school, you cannot wear that, you have to wear clean!!!!!!clothes.....I would say it is a phase, but it has been like this his whole life, he has puppy syndrome....
