When I go to their house Peanut is fine, he allows them to sniff (when Pnut is on the floor) If Pnut is in my lap and Leo comes up to see us and Leo gets too close, Pnut will growl and show his teeth.
I do believe it is more protective behavior that Pnut has.
When I was dog sitting, we took them all out in the back yard to play. Grace was doing her own thing and Dh threw the ball for Leo- Well Pnut saw that and ran to get it- so did Leo. Peanut got there first and grabbed the ball, Leo went to play tug of war with it and Pnut snapped at him! He snapped and growled really loud to Leo, Leo stopped and looked at him and then Pnut snipped at Leo! Poor Leo, didn’t know what to do. At this time Peanut was going all crazy and still growling and trying to snip- As DH is running over, I see Leo take his big ol head and lay his head on top of Pnuts’ he was obviously trying to over dominate but he did it in his own way where he didn’t attack Peanut. Dh got over to them and took Pnut away from the situation.
It was crazy! I was sooooooo thankful Leo didn’t do anything! That could have been really bad!! I thought I was going to keep them separate the rest of the weekend but right after that we went inside and Peanut was fine with Leo. They were snuggled in the same bed 15 mins later!!
I did learn my lesson, if we dog sit them again, I wont have same play time!
Yes we need a club- what can we call it!?? |
That's exactly what Georgie does even to Coco! Coco looks at him like what's wrong with you buddy LOL Coco has never shown any aggression towards Georgie she will just open her mouth and she sounds like Chewbacca and waves her heard around as they play. I posted it here many years ago. I just think Boxers are so sweet. I have never worried about anything other than Coco accidently hurting Georgie which she is 6 years older so when they play she is laying down LOL. I am so glad Leo realized his size and him and Peanut were buddies so soon after
Georgie is our first and only Yorkie so I didn't realize how different his personality would be from Coco's. She is so laid back and well he isn't LOL.
We need to think of a cute name for our club obviously to match the cuteness of our boys
