My next door neighbor has a Mexican Chihuahua named Bella. My wife and I call her Crazy Bella because like many dogs of this breed, her mouth writes checks her body can't cash. In other words, she is quite aggressive. As many of you know, on May 31 of this year my wife and I rescued a female Rottweiler, Duchess. I call her Dutch because it's easier.

Anyway, on Thanksgiving day, my son and I were in my back yard throwing a tennis ball around for the Dutchster to chase. All of a sudden, Crazy Bella crawls under the cedar fence, usig a hole she had dug. This has happened before Bella barks her head off trying to intimidate Dutch and Dutch just kind of looks at Bella as if to say, "Are you really a dog?" This time however, this 4 pound whack job proceded to attack the 70 poundish Dutch. My son and I immediately tried to seperate the two. As it turned out, no harm was done, but at the end, Dutch had this little dog completely in her jaws and off the ground. I thought Bella was truck music for sure, but Dutch did not bite down, thank God. I gave Dutch the "Out" command and Dutch put Bella down, whereupon, Bella beat feet back to her own yard. The crazy dog was still barking her head off though. She has some brass.
