He was used to big burley dogs. But let someone or something bother these guys now, and the cr*& flies. Even the grandkids! If the dogs growl at one of the human kids, then it must have been because they were teasing the dogs. And the most familiar thing you hear when the kids are here is "I TOLD YOU NOT TO RUN IN THE HOUSE!!!" Having puppies sure taught the kids to keep their stuff put away. IF IT'S ON THE FLOOR, IT'S FREE GAME.

I'm not saying what Brandy did was acceptable, just understandable. Cosmo plays with all the furkids here like crazy, and I have to admit, sometimes they treat her like she's a squeak toy, but she loves it. She just gets up, shakes off the dust and goes right back for more. She loves my mom's big dog (Queensland Heeler). I'd send you pics, but I lost your email address and my pic posting memory is lost again. I'll figure it out one of these days.

Hang in there. She's a cutie and if you DO have to give her up, please let me know!! I know a lot of people that'd want her.

Yeah, John was upset about Bailey doing that. But he did hold Bailey on the trip up there. Brandy is the one that he will not pet. I rarely see him pet Bailey anymore. I think he doesn't want to pet them because he doesn't want to get attached to them. I don't know anyone who hasn't had a dog chew on something or do something "naughty." I just believe that he is more easily annoyed with them because he doesn't love them. He doesn't seem to want to love them anymore or pet them. I hope by talking to him I can figure out why.
