Yep I have fids like that ^_^ If you know your dog would do "something" do NOT take the chance! My dog Flea plays with Ashling whenever they're out together. As long as he is lying down quietly, I let them do what they like. Ashling preens his paws and rolls on her back as he prods her feet and flicks his tongue at her. She slides along, flaps her wings, pins her eyes, purrs, growls and whistles. She absolutely loves these games and I don't have the heart to stop them. I tell Flea "gentle" and he moves slowly and- well- gently. They're never out of my sight though. One accidental wrong move of the paw, or too hard a prod could hurt Ash. I'm sure Flea would never bite her; the only bird he's ever chased is the feral pigeon and the only animal is the wild mouse. When he feels uncomfortable with her, he slowly gets up and moves away.
My huskies I would NOT leave alone with her, or let them play without me right beside them. They have killed some of my chickens and watch the birds with hunger when they walk around or fly. None of my birds are afraid of dogs... the chickens will follow Flea around when he has a bone!

Sorry the pics are so big!
