I say let them have their toy. I had a maltese that had a favorite stuffed bunny that he liked (loved) at lot. Sometimes their love affair was not pretty; but he never tried to hump another dog, or another person, or anyone's leg . . . . he was happy with his bunny and I let him keep it.
Of course, their affair had a very sad ending. I took Casper (with his bunny) to board for a week-end and they thought they would do us a favor by washing the love bunny. Casper would never touch it again after that.
I guess it wasn't true love after all. Casper never had another 'friend' after that. |
