Jody, the kid analogy is exactly what I meant and can of course apply to my wife's dogs if they are bad and my dogs if they are good!
My female rat terrier "Minnie" backs up if you're about to step on her, she is one strange little plumper. Most dogs get out from under you, she backs up under you and just about forces you to trip or step on her. We've had some close calls with her!
