Yes you are reading right this little Man has no fear and it scares me sometimes Outside the Shop this Morning, there was a Doberman and she was where I normally put Gissi, well Gissi was going mad at this Doberman, because she was in his Place, I told him several times to quit, but as Gissi is, what I say only goes when it suits him I told him to stay and quit I would only be 2 Minutes I went in the Shop and got what I had to, while I was there I heard one of the Staff call ' Gaby is in here', yep Gissi was letting everyone know, I was about to call, yes I am here, when I heard this Woman say to one of the Girls, could she just push in as she had to get to her Dog, as she is being scared by this little Dog out there, so the Girl said innocently, oh that is only Gissi, he likes to shout at Dogs no matter what size they are, what type of a Dog do you have, well I hid when I heard the Woman say, she is a Doberman, but she is petrified of the little Fellow out there and I don't know why??? Well, Linda, one of the Staff come up behind me and said, That little Man is a right little Bully and she laughed, I told her to shush I did not want the Woman to know that he is mine she might have a go at me, Linda laughed even more, she told me that the Woman had said she admires the little one out there, he certainly has personality, yeah right, he is a little Bully Next thing he is barking again, but it was a different bark and I just said, not again, Linda asked what has he done, well lately he has a Poo while he waits for me, which is ok as I clean it, but he makes such a racket about it till I clean it up it is unbelievable, of course everyone outside was laughing at him, as he barks at his deposit direct till I clean it, my Face was so red, I just wanted to hide, People where saying what a clever little Dog, I was mumbling what a little pain in the Butt, of course Gissi walked as proud as punch down the road, if we would have still had snow I would have rolled him in it

Awww, another sweet Gissi story, always makes me laugh! What a little brute, haha! You know what they say..."Dynamite Comes In Small Packages", and that use to be my motto, haha. Gissi is one of the funniest little people I know, and I say people, because I think he truly believes he is.

Gissi is without a doubt one smart little guy. I am amazed at just how unafraid and courageous small dogs are. My three are always trying to instigate trouble with my neighbors' dogs two bull dogs and a mastiff mix!!

Now that is one thing the little Man is scared of is Horses, I will never forget shortly after I got him he came across a Horse on the Field that I took him to, the Horse looked at him and he ran across the Field in the opposite Direction I have never seen a Dog run that fast lol

This reminds of of the time I took my doberman over to someones house to show her what a big beautiful dog I had. I had her on a leash standing proud at the door. The door opened and this little dog jumps out barking. My dog was so scared she almost pulled me down before the leash pulled out of my hand.

It sounds as if everyone in town knows Gissi and they just feed his ego by cheering him on and telling him he is just so clever. He is gonna get a really swelled head.

Gissi is not a bully. He is just excited and full of life. He likes to talk with the other dogs. He does not mean to embarrass you. It just sort of happens. Enjoy life with your little friend who brings such joy to you. Give the little guy a big hug for me.

Gissi sounds like he is full of himself alright - just like my little Rosie, part chihuahua and part dachshund (at least that's what my vet thinks) She rules our household and has my cocker spaniel cowed - Abby will check out the room and make sure where Rosie is before she enters, and so do the 2 cats, although the youngest one likes to push the envelope whenever she can and test Rosie's dominence. Rosie has never hurt anyone, but the glare she puts out would stop a bear in it's tracks. We kid that she has "little dog syndrome" and thinks she's much larger than her 11 pounds.

All little dogs think they are Great Danes, they even look in the mirror and see a Great Dane looking back. Your Gissi senses your energy and knows when he has the upper hand. Good Luck

Another great Gissi tale! I love him, bless his heart; he has courage that’s for sure! As for the poo my dog usually rolls in it! I can’t get over the fact that the Doberman was frightened of Gissi! That is so precious! I bet he is really proud of himself and knows he is a little hero! Looking forward to the next tale...

BONUS! TWO Gissi stories! Gaby, when you move you will leave a lot of lonely people behind. They'll miss their encounters with Gissi. On the other hand of course, there's a group of people just waiting to find out what a delight is in store for them when you move there.

oh dear this did make me laugh,he is such a little character. We have a big rhodesian ridgeback living next door to us, and the other side 4 little bichon frises. Dexter is very anti social and barks at every dog, no matter big or small. Even though he is knee high to a grass hopper ! But our friends have a little king charles spaniel and they are great mates. as for the poo thing, once done , dexter tries to put as much space between him and his "deposit". This is ok if he's been out in the garden, he rushes in, skids round the kitchen and then rushes round the living room as fast as he can. but when hes on the lead, slightly different, i have to be ready with the plastic bags. ! and thats all i will say about the matter !! And yes, Gissi is a clever little boy,one of a kind, bless him

Gissi certainly lets everybody know what he thinks, doesn't he! At least he doesn't hold it all in...

LOL @ Gissi and his poo bark...adorable! And yes, little dogs seem to not know they are little and will take on or warn off a much larger dog. Abby, my daughter's Shih tzu is the smallest dog by far in the whole neighborhood, but like Gissi, she has an alpha-dog attitude that more than makes up for her lack of size!! Amazing. Karen

Lol Karen I think most little Dogs are like that it is their cover for being little and wanting to show them what they are made of really lol
