Want the good news first or the bad news? :B

EVERY Min Pin across the world does that spinning the blanket over their heads until they are wrapped up tight. It is truly unbelievable that they all do that. Just try and put a MinPin to bed without a blanket.

I have left my Min Pins out ALL day and well into the night to exhaust them to see if that would slow them down so I could have a peaceful evening...it does not. Valium for the owner is the only answer!

7 years old is NO where's near that little pup slowing down heck she's just in her prime. It simply is not in their genetic make up!

This breed usually does not succumb to leg problems as they age so they can be old, blind, senile, etc. and they will STILL run all over. And they are a long lived breed so get used to many more years of it!

One of my Min Pin's is 14 1/2 years old and with a little dose of Previcox just once a week he STILL drives me crazy running all over and bouncing and jumping from the couch to the chairs and back again all day long.

Just last night he drank my entire unattended cup of coffee again and needless to say the running and jumping did not stop until well after 2:00 in the morning when the caffeine wore off and he finally ran out of steam.

30 years of owning Great Danes and then making the decision that in 'my' later years a smaller breed would be better.....boy was I ever WRONG to choose the Min Pin and then to add insult to injury have 4 of them!!

Wouldn't have it any other way though. Never a dull day and never a day that is the same with a Min Pin. :C
