Cricket, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cricket
Age: 3.6 years old
Gender: Female
Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Queensbury, New York, USA
 
   Cricket rules the roost over two other male yorkies, one male Chinese Crested Powderpuff and a parrot!! She's Very Bossy to the boys; doesn't like them "touching" her :-) Tending so many other animals makes each day quite a challenge for Cricket. A girl's work is just never done. Being the only girl, she is a more than a little spoiled but she makes up for her "attitude" with plenty of kisses for her humans. She is such a funny girl!! Bossy, haughty, but incredibly generous with her kisses! She has Quite a Tuff time keeping these boys and the parrot in line. Ahh, her day is very full.

    Cricket particularly enjoys sniffing the air and making sure the Rotties next door aren't outside!! And, if they are, she is a tempoed barker; i.e. bark bark (pause) listen for their attention, bark bark, pause, and listen again. She is Constantly keeping track of the boys; Toby and Max (our other yorkies) and Michael the Chinese Crested. (Michael has a huge crush on Cricket and every now and then she allows his affectionate gaze without charging and snarling at him.) Funny thing is they hang together; wherever Cricket is - Michael is very near by. If not, she goes looking for him. She does fuss at Michael, the Parrot (Ivan) and the Rotties, most. She is most definitely the instigator in the house.
