The farm dog

I used to think of a farm dog being a sweet collie or maybe an Anatolian shepherd. When I was young I had a friend whose farm dog was a mix of different breeds, but he was a medium to large size dog.
 My farm dog is none of these. His name is Julio (aka Hoolie) and he is a chihuahua. He couldn't fight off a wolf (he would make a tasty snack for the wolf though). But, I call him the farm dog because where I go he goes.When I am working in the garden or in the yard he is right there. Chickens are bigger then my little guy but he keeps them in line. We are temporarily chickenless at the moment because we are moving but one of Hoolie's favorite things to do is to help collect eggs. His job is to keep watch.
He is a little man with a big heart and to the other animals at my house, he's the boss. He takes his job very seriously.
