 Knox is a pest. Lord!
My girlfriend brought her 7 pound yorkie over today. My Knox weighs 4. Knox like always jumped on him, gnawed on his neck and ears, took every toy he showed interest in away, and generally annoyed poor Armani to no end. I've watched the Dog Whisperer a thousand times, but it's no use. lol
Knox is so small that Armani just brushes him aside like a gnat. Fortunately "Monte" is totally laid back, or he'd teach Knoxie a lesson. The crazy thing is...Knox loves Monte. If I tell him Monte is coming, Knoxie gets soooo excited. In fact, if I take Monte into the shallow end of the pool with me, Knox will jump in and swim to us, well, not us, to his wrestling buddy, Monte. When Monte leaves, Knox sits in the window just staring for an hour. lol
Sometimes though, especially if my girlfriend stays a while, Monte needs some down time. Either Knox is asleep or trying to fight. I feel sorry for poor Monte. Both dogs are about 8 months old and neither are neutered. Knox is little and hyper. He doesn't much like to be held. He'd rather run around exploring until he gets tired. Then and only then, he will crawl up on your belly and take a nap. He's very smart, completely housebroken and has been for a long time. And...he loves to be outside. I have had to put gates on both porches because he likes to stand in the yard and bark at the neighbors 13 year old pitbull who so far as I know has never left their driveway, but I can't take a chance. Knox is like my kid.
Monte is completely opposite. He's a big ole lap dog. He has no interest in going outside. He's way more interested in humans than other dogs. He's clumsy and funny to watch. He falls in the pool every five minutes when we are swimming. lol He likes to play with Knox, but he needs a break once in a while. Monte is still not completely potty trained and absolutely insists on pooping in either his or Knoxie's crate. lol It's really funny how two dogs of the same breed can be entirely different. They have been raised very similarly, came from the same breeder, and have been friends since they were ten weeks old. I just wish I could get Knox to play nice. He will actually leap from the top of the couch onto Monte's head, and Monte will yelp. It's sad. lol |
