I've found a way for Adonis to get the "undivided attention" he's so used to for the 5 years before Venus arrived.
When Venus gets settled and falls asleep, I hang my arm off the bed, and he comes straight to my hand for the attention now. Then he knows Venus is asleep, and safe to come up on the bed.
The 5 minutes after we got in bed, was part of our "routine" for quality time together for 5 years. My 9 month old, Venus, is very posessive of me, she can't stand for Adonis to get any attention at all. She wants to be the only one getting attention!
This seems to me like having children!
I have tried using one hand for each dog giving attention, and she goes to the hand thats petting Adonis, leaving the hand thats petting her for nobody!
She seems to be very posessive of my attention, but we're finding a way around this now. |
