My mini schnauzer(Freckles) is a humongous pain in my rear, but I adore him. I Honestly don't know what I would do without him. He is my baby, and he answer questions(kind of)... In reality, though, the questions are pretty much the only way to get him to come to you... If you ask him" Freckles, do you love me? Do you want to be my friend? Are you pretty? Are you beautiful? Are you Gorgeous?" He normally comes to you when you ask him these questions. He's also extremely protective of me. In fact, he only likes two other people when I'm around(Alex and my mom.) He will go to anyone when I'm gone, but if I'm there, he is by my side and he wants no one near me.... Alex and him go rounds... It took three months to actually let her sit next to me without throwing a fit... I would say that I have spoiled just a little...
