I have a senegal named Pookah, 4 cockatiels (Goose (who talks & talks & talks like a gray), BoobooDuck (clumsy boy who does talk but nothing like Goose) Graci Lu & Sasha Vicious) and a rosy bourke parakeet named Peach-who has the most beautiful tweeting voice i've ever heard.) Sasha & Peach were rescues. Goose I got as a chick-and he picks up alot of what I say-and can mimic my laugh perfectly!)

I did approach Charlotte differently last night while she was comatose on the couch (she sleeps harder and longer than any puppy I've ever had) - I called her name as I got closer, petted her bum (she doesn't startle when you touch her) - made kissy noises - she lifted her sleepy head - I said 'Hi toady' (her nickname) - she gave a little lick and zonked right back to sleep. Then I was busy feeding the birds getting everyone ready for bed - must have been too noisy for her - she got up - pee peed - sleepily made her way to her crate (I had just put her blankie in from the dryer) - she hopped in and fell asleep. Before I went up to bed - I reached in - petted her head, gave her a little belly rub - said goodnight - shut the door - turned the lights off and she slept til morn.

Judy, you take care of the rescues and the abused and it is a different issue. When I read the initial post, I saw it was a tiny puppy…that the snapping was when Lynda went to give her a kiss while she is ‘sleeping’. I think that if I was woken up with a giant’s face next to me, I would do whatever my instincts tell me to protect myself. I have found with mine that touching them or moving them when sleeping is something that I have to do while talking. I guarantee that either of mine would growl or snap at any other time…they would be corrected immediately. We cannot expect our pups to be sweet when they wake up being touched or otherwise moved without first talking. I always say something like ‘Dolly, Mommy’s going to lay you down in the chair now.’ She is fine. The few times that I have just reached to pull up the blanket before it fell…which was an impulsive move on my part…my sleeve sweeps over Dolly…that wakes her up and is not a normal feeling and because it was very late and they were both sleeping, I wasn’t even talking (I only talk to myself when I go to the store…LOL) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Judy Moon Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 8:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: RE: Re: [Chihuahuas] cranky behaviot I’ll stand by my statement.

That WAS harsh! Please don't think all of us will respond to you this way. You have a legitimate concern. The breed has a reputation for tending toward a yappy, cranky nature. I understand you to say that you're simply concerned and want advice. I had similar concerns about Jake. But at 23 months, he is a curious, happy boy. Neither yappy nor nippy. >From : C.M.

From: diana roller To: "[email protected]" Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2012 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] cranky behaviot Just because she doesnt like people in her face does not mean that she needs to be disciplined. Dogs have an instinct as to what people they can trust. Also, has anyone taken the time with her to socialize her ~ gently and over a period of time, NOT JUST A SNAP ON THE NOSE?????? It sounds like you are being way too impatiant with her as well as expecting too much too soon. Dogs are like kids, each personality is different. Maybe she just needs a little extra loving and gentle care. I will take her off your hands if you like. I hate to see you both so upset.

Itsy will do this because she does not like being startled or bothered when she is sleeping. I always make it a point to say her name name and here girl, come on girl time to go out. She is fine then. Don't get your feelings hurt, it is not personal, it is a reaction. I guess my point is that not all things fit all dogs. Sounds to me like she just does not want to be bothered while she is resting. Not all dogs will always be alike. Ask yourself how she is otherwise? Is this the only time she does that?

My other 2 dogs are sweet, well behaved, loving, even tempered loves. I've worked with them & they are such wonderful dogs-well trained & very respectable. (altho they've trained me well too) LOL I've noticed when I lean over to kiss Charlotte when she's sleeping she snaps @ my face The first time she did this I was shocked! Did it again and couldn't believe it-my feelings were hurt. Then I went to move her & she growled. I gave her a 'no' command each time but she doesn't even react to the command. I tapped her nose once & said 'no', but she just curled up when back to sleep. I will not accept this behavior so I make a point of 'bothering' her sometimes when she's sleeping so we can work on this. Anybody have any other ideas?
