That is a cute little dude for sure!  I don't have a pet right now, but lost my best buddy Titan 3 years ago.  Still can't bring myself to get another one.
He used to get in my face to walk if I waited too long to walk him in the morning.   I walked 2 miles a day for 10 1/2 years with him.
Here is video I took one time of him talking for his walk.  https://youtu.be/LxI7V7EHdnI

He also had a fixation with any kind of reflection, like chasing the back door when the wind blew it.  https://youtu.be/0IHR5DmSlHk

Too cute. My big guy would show that annoying rabbit a thing or two. This is Levon the Terrible on his first birthday.

Too cute Keith, bless his soul. He is lovely. Don't let it stop you, I'm sure Titan would want you to have another mate.

The Chihuahuas are my wife's. I've lost count of how many she has. This one is Souris (Soo ree - Mouse in French) and she is a cute little scamp. Here's what happened when we left Levon alone in the van with 48 rolls of toilet paper we'd just picked up. That rabbit would be toast!

Bless him.   What is it with toilet papers that attracts animals? I can imagine what went through your mind DT.   Oh yes the wabbit........

I had to laugh. What can you do? His defense? What??? I've been sleeping!  

The face full of porcupine quills was much worse. Here he is after I've removed about half of them including from his nose and tongue. At this point, he'd had enough and had decided he'd just keep these ones in his chin. The vet had to get those out. Yes, cost way more than a few rolls of t.p.

OUCH!! Oh that would have hurt, poor bugger, that innocent look. LOL Yes I can imagine how much Vet charges are, been there many, many times.

Bowie where do you find the time? Oh I would love to see your Koi pond. My favourite fish. Hairless cat........interesting.

Ha! I took this look as his, "I love you Dad but if you do that one more time, I'm taking your jugular out!"

Right now we have two dogs and 4 hens. We have taught the dogs to treat the hens as pack.
Our hens and dogs get along well. We don't even have to supervise them.
They all look for the same thing... large birds in the sky.
Zeus is in this pic, Elvis was not available.

How do you get them to get along? My Pomeranians hate my Peking duck and my Peking duck is about to send one of my Poms to Beijing with a side kick.  They just don't get along.
Yes, those large birds are a worry for me too. My Poms weigh 1.8kg, no problems for them to handle, I'm sure.

We taught the dogs to not bother the chickens. The chickens are too dumb to learn. They will chase the dogs out of a favorite dirt hole. The dogs just move along.
All we did is "correct" the dogs when they looked interested in the chickens. Our dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs and we have a close relationship.
This has been going on for a year now.
I could leave a toilet paper roll on the breezeway all day and the dogs would not touch it if I said "no".
I can also take an old sock, tie a knot on each end, toss it on the ground and say "go get it", and whoa, tug of war.
It is all very cool.

Cheers Mike I will try that. I'm sure the duck will appreciate a little peace and quiet instead of being a Peking Duck for the Poms. LOL
