Honoring the possession rules
I just gave the dogs a hank of cheese a piece. The beagle wolfed hers down.
The Elkhounds always share goodies with her, but if she's there first, the Elkhounds lay down and watch her, hoping by the time she leaves, there is a smell left. Tuck took his hank of cheese and wanted to savor it. The beagle moved in on his prize and Tuck not wishing to share, tried to move himself between her and the cheese. She persisted, and Tuck realized he could not fend her off. He put a paw on her head, and finally grabbed his hank of cheese and took it off in the bedroom, climbed a ladder and savored it there (the cheese was only a 1" X 1" square, so it's not like it was something major) Tuck hasn't been back up that ladder since Riley (neighbors dog that I babysat for a week last summer) sent him up there in refuge last august. Watching the dynamics as the dogs try to retain the honor system, when one dog has no honor is interesting. |

I think that you need a Khan. No Beagle in its right mind (or not so right mind) is going to actually try and take anything away from him. She may try once, but it will be the first and last time, and I can promise no harm will come to her. She will however, get the message, loud and clear. Suja |

But Reka, who rules the roost, still honors. She will lay down and watch for a vacancy, but her honor is definitely in place. THIS beagle has no honor. I'm sure Khan would put the beagle in her place. The beagle wouldn't have even challenged Reka. I was surprised to see Tuck even protest the beagle's encroachment, but he must have really wanted that cheese. |

in : "diddy" none wrote in message: Tuck took his hank of cheese and wanted to savor it Sorry - I've never heard this before - "hank"? It was a piece of cheese that I tore off a block of cheese. Hank is usually a piece torn off a larger piece but it's generally implied that it's larger than what I offered the dogs. It was a little piece of cheese i split three ways. Each about 1" by 1" appx The other dogs swallowed theirs, but Tuck, the "snappy grabber", took his off to savor and lick until it was gone. |

Whatever could you have been thinking, offering such high value treats to Mr. Teeth? Do you still have all your fingers intact, or are you typing with your toes? Suja Makes one wonder, doesn't it? A moment of senility, I guess. |
