About

Meet Viola (TN)

Like the beautiful, rich instrument she is named after, Viola can switch easily between being cheerfully lively one moment and softly mellow the next. She loves going for walks, playing fetch with a tennis ball, and choosing toys to chew, shake, fetch, and tow. But she also cherishes relaxing nap time, snuggly lap time, and lavish pat time. With people, Viola is always warm, harmonious, and affectionate, but with other dogs--particularly unfamiliar ones--she can sometimes be sassy and even assertive. Her preference, though, is to avoid conflict, and if she doesn't think the other dog is trying to steal her toys or usurp her space on someone's lap, then she is very willing to coexist congenially with the other dog. We have been told that she gets along well with cats. At 5 years old, Viola has gained the life experience to be reliably house-trained and crate trained, have lovely house manners, and understand basic obedience commands like "sit." She weighs a sturdy 18 lbs., and while her physical appearance makes it clear that she is not a full rat terrier (although it's hard to say what other breeds might be in her family tree), her loyal, affectionate, lively personality is very rattie.
