Gypsies Story (by owner Monika Warren)

Gypsy has been a blessing to our family. She is top dog over the Doberman Boss. She has a prissy attitude and is not a force to be reckoned with. Ha!

We were worried when we first got her because she didn't come off the couch. It took her months to acclimate to our busy house and lifestyle.

I have 4 kids: Justin 19, Matthew 16, Erika 7, and Nikole 5. The girls are in cheerleading, gymnastics, soccer, and horseback riding. The girls did very well in cheer. The dogs loved cheer because I took them to the park with the girls 5 days a week so we could walk while the girls practiced their cheers and routines. As I try to get the kids ready, the dogs already know. Gypsy tugs at my shoes and shoelaces in excitement. Sometimes if I take too long, she'll even grab my shorts. She is funny and the leashes drive her crazy. She can't get out the door fast enough with her leash in her mouth. Loading up the car we look like a three ring circus. The 105# Doberman "Bossy Boy", 6# Yorkie "Roxy", and of course Gypsy which my husband calls "Dizzy", and the girls. When we're out walking we turn a lot of heads. Such a clash of Breeds...Ha!

Gypsy loves to cuddle at night time and sleeps in the bed under the covers. She especially loves my husband Royce and has to clean his neck every night. He lets her do it and I cringe because I know she has been helping to clean the litter box!

She loves my son Matthew and likes to cuddle in his lap while he is watching TV. The girls love her too but they don't try to pick her up because well... that Sassy thing again. She demands Respect! Ha!

We did adopt two black cats "Scampers" and "Fatty" which she rolls around on the floor playing with. She is definitely a guard dog and sounds the alarm when she thinks an intruder is approaching. We love her and she has finally made her spot in our crazy gang!
