Boss of you / AKA "What a bitch"
It's pretty interesting. Six month old Maybe took total control
of a friend's male Standard Poodle when he came to stay with us for a week. She's bedazzled Rocky with her feminine wiles from Day One. Today, Friday backed down just a little bit at her play gambit. In this house, he doesn't do this. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

rec.pets.dogs.behavior: Today, Friday backed down just a little bit at her play gambit. In this house, he doesn't do this. *grin* ah, girls. Yup. Exactly why I wanted a girl dog. She constantly sucks up to Friday, and he normally will have nothing to do with the face-kissing. After 4 months, though, his posture is more relaxed. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

rec.pets.dogs.behavior: Any new peeectures? I keep trying to get one of Maybe doing her little dog impression - hanging out on top of the couch's back, heretofore the little dogs' safety zone. http://www.rocky-dog.com/Daycare/DucksInArow.jpg I need to get a camera phone - a lousy picture is better than none. -- --Matt.

Terri said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior:
I'm curious about something.What happens when you stretch out full length on the sofa? Who jumps on you, who snuggles, who stays up there and who comes over to flop down on the floor next to the sofa? Friday tries to lie down alongside me, though that doesn't last long. Rocky always lies on floor as close to the couch as he can get so that I miss getting the phone after maneuvering around him. A couple of the little guys like to sleep on my chest, which makes reading difficult. The little guys are poised exactly as you see them in the picture, though you have to be careful of the black cutsie-poo with the harness - she likes to lick inside one's ear, which I find unpleasant. The major shuffling is at my feet. The biggest contenders are Maybe and Teyah The Giant Malamute. When Teyah claims the couch before me, I have to wedge my way in, slowly driving her away from the end I want. On her own, she takes up 3/4 of the couch. And that's curled up. -- --Matt.

My cat Skipjack (larger than some of your teeny guests) has been glued to me in the evenings (do you think he knows that his spot is at risk in just THREE days?). With me semi-reclined, he curls up on my shoulder (his head on my shoulder, the rest of his body is taking up my chest) or directly on my chest, breathing into my face, purring away, sound asleep. It's pretty hard to get anything done - read, watch tv, whatever. I'm indulging him because I know he will probably not trust Miss Marcie right away and needs to bank his snuggle time. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

He's not so little so it was extra cute. IFYPFY. -- Catherine & Zoe, Queenie, & Max, 3 black dogs of varying sizes & Rosalie the calico cat www.ourladyofperfection.blogspot.com |

That's almost as cute as Spike, my good ol' cockatiel, who would sit on my shoulder and nestle his head in my ear. As you've probably experienced, how does one go to the bathroom in such a situation? -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I find this very interesting. The floor/sofa jockying for position with the Sheps was similar to Rocky and Friday with Mojo taking Rocky's place and Luke in Friday's spot. There's no jockeying for position 'twixt Rocky and Friday. Rocky goes with the flow and was cool with older Murphy and later with younger Friday directing that flow. Once in a long while, Friday snarks at Rocky, but Rocky either doesn't notice or doesn't care. Rocky snarks at no one, and still plays with puppies. Friday is boss right now, and Maybe sort-of grovels. Friday, like many dogs, doesn't see the Big Picture - that he'll be assimilated by Maybe. OTOH, I'm totally aware that there could be a face-off. I doubt it, but I don't minimalize the possibility. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
