We got a dog with the idea that he would be a companion to Jackson. Well, Dizzy looked totally mellow and sweet when we got him but quickly proved to be too crazy. He would lick Jackson's face (before he learned not to) and it was too much for Jackson to handle. He is a very spirited dog...he's been to doggie "boot camp" twice because it didn't take the first time, and he wears an e-collar because he does not always do what he is told. I never had a dog growing up (although Lee did) so I often found myself wondering why we kept this nutty dog...especially when he was a very bad dog!
After Zoe was born I figured it out. We needed a spirited doggie for our spirited girl. Dizzy is definitely Zoe's dog and Zoe is Dizzy's girl! She is so rough on him, pulling his fur and ears, and he is very patient and gentle with her.
Here are some pics and video you so you see how perfect they are for each other.
