Name the newest Fiend......dog

Thanks Mo. I'm not going to see a bill in my mailbox, am I?

It's all good stuff, but because of the exact situation where the aggressions occurs, we'll have to modify it somewhat.

Luckily it occurs only when Buddy is right next to one of us either in a chair or in bed, and Dobby attempts to join in.

They're fine together the rest of the time. They eat next to each other, go for walks together, play side by side, but not with each other, and once they're both sitting next to us, Buddy is fine with Dobby practically laying on top of him. It's Buddy's response when he has us all to himself, and Dobby jumps up to join in.

 

Modification is expected as no two situations are exactly alike.  

 

And Mo... really, rainbows raining down on Lou's sky... well   :rofl3:  :rofl3:  :rofl3:  :rofl3:  :rofl3:  :rofl3:

Really great suggestions, thanks all. The one that stands out to me and Gail is Aarons suggestion of "Yawkey". For those that don't know the significance of Yawkey, Tom Yawkey was the Red Sox owner

Mo obviously knows a lot about dogs, but I consider myself a bit of a behavioral specialist myself.  And I have noticed over the years that, when confronted with naughty or aggressive behavior, scotch

It's actually good that it's just a guarding "piss off they're mine" situation vs flat out aggression, as (in my opinion anyway) that's easier to manage and work on.

Aaaaahhh, I love that picture!

 

Thanks Jean Ann, took it just this morning.

 

That is sweetness!

 

Dobby is just the sweetest light guy. He just wants to be loved. He'll climb up on your lap, and plop himself down like he's known you forever.

He's low maintenance, as long as you play with him once in a while. He hasn't messed in the house at all. He's eating real well, just loves veggies.

We're still amazed, and confounded as to why someone brought him back to the shelter after only a month. We were smitten by him on the first day.

He went to the Vet for a follow-up exam yesterday, and all's well. He's put on 1/2 lb. which is a lot considering his size, but he's still ok weight wise.

We haven't seen him experience another seizure, so we're hoping that he hasn't had any that were unseen by us.

 

I am holding you to that one.

 

I'll be by.

Bandit and Thor know who the pack leader is (borrowed from Ceasar Milano).

Great to hear the new family member Is doing well. It's nice to feel like your existence has a bigger meaning. Saving a dog is just plain great.

We rescued Bandit (Terrier mix) when he still had baby teeth. I'm not sure how anybody could give him up, but I'm thankful they did.

That is true.

It is, but all the credit has to go to my wife though.

She's the one that did all the work of looking for him, registering with the shelter, and bringing him home.

Not that I didn't know it might happen, but it was a complete surprise to me.

And thanks to you guys for doing that.

How many times have we heard that?

Is it mostly a case of bad owners, and not bad dogs?

This is Lyn.  She was given up because she broke her leg at 2 years old and the family told the vet to euthanize her because they didn't want to pay to fix it.  Really?!  THIS face???
