They are fun to watch play together, but it can also be more trouble than you really want.
A fantastic recommendation Rizzo has almost doubled his barking since Cooper has joined the family, they get along fantastically but everytime he hears any sound, he starts to yap. Going to start the coin in can technique to try this out...Also he started to pee under the tree. At first I thought it was the cat annoyed with the new arrival, but witnessed Rizzo doing it. I put a potty pad under the tree now and he goes strait to that. I'm not sure if the increased frequency that he has to pee at is due to the new boy in the house (since it's not marking, just relief type peeing) or because the weather finally turned on us and now it's cold all the time and he hates the cold.
Either way, seems like their "problems" seem to really surface when another dog comes along. At the same time, I love having two dogs in the house, they entertain each-other when outside and inside. They're leaving the cat alone which makes the kitty happy, and I have 3 fur butts to snuggle me and keep me warm on the couch at night
Nothing more heavenly than relaxing with your furry family
