That's why I don't get more upset about the situation. He tolerates misbehavior and lets me do the discipline and we do NOT punish.
He does play with all of them at the same time if they want him to and his back is up to it. (He is disabled.)
Family dynamics!!!! That is an interesting thought. He is one of two children and there is ten years between them so both were treated like only children. But his older brother was an exceptional one and spoiled dh as badly as his parents did. Yes, he was a very spoiled child but he would never admit it. I on the other hand am the youngest of three and I can see where my own "treat them equally" ideas come from! Good point.
I don't know what else to say to him to get him to guard his food better. Fortunately he does understand that they have special little digestive systems and he usually asks if the dogs can have whatever he is intending to give them. The sausage that Adie swiped was retrieved because he knows that one is a no no. |
Lol, thanks for that reply, I'm no longer worried about little Skeeter or Adie for that matter.
