Gracie on the deck |
Last night at the dog park, we met a new dog. Her name is Roxanne, she is 5 months old, and a mutt. Definitely has some beagle in her, but beyond that it is anyone's guess. Roxanne was a bit shy at first, and allowing my two to dominant her. This went on for about 10 minutes, when the girl said enough. I was cheering from the sidelines. Jake had been circling her, barking, swatting her with his front paw, and she turned and let Mr. Jake have it, nipping back and chasing him around the park. This is exactly what he needed to learn that not every other dog is going to think he is just soooooo cute, that he can get away with his rude behavior. From that point forward, not only did Jake treat Roxanne with respect, so did Gracie. The Diva had been watching this, running around in a larger circle, and when Roxanne stood her ground, Gracie sat down to watch.
Can dogs chuckle? I swear Gracie was laughing...
