A Perfectly Accurate Description
Dec. 2nd, 2013 03:40 pmFell down a link blackhole on AOL (you know, you click a link that leads to another link and so-on), eventually ending on a site that describes dog breeds. Have got to say, they are pretty spot-on regarding the personality of a my dog's breed: Havanese
I swear you can see her laughing as she makes you chase her around the living room before she'll consent to her harness for her walk.
She doesn't resist a harness. It's not that. It's that she clearly and obviously enjoys making you chase her for a few minutes before rolling over, exposing her tummy, and then dutifully standing still for the harness. Clearly, it's just about the fun.
"Flying across your furniture" is perfectly accurate as well.
Often mischievous, occasionally naughty — shredding paper is a favorite pastime — the little dogs from Cuba will fly across your furniture, take over the couch and bed, alert you to visitors or intruders {...} [The Havanese] has a sense of humor and loves the attention he gets when he does funny things. He is a clown and performs all the time. {...} A wonderfully happy breed, the Havanese has a unique gait, referred to as springy, that announces his cheerful temperament. He springs along and makes you laugh. {...}. Watching Havanese play is a giggle. They like to tear around the house or yard and will play for hours with anyone who has the patience and stamina to keep up with them. Even though they’re small in stature, they’re very sturdy and agile. They are also happy to settle on a lap — anything is fine with a Havanese as long as it involves attention.
