I've recently gotten a new male puppy (Ichabod). He's the most pesky playful little guy I've ever raised. He follows My Adult Male Sneakers to learn how to hunt and protect, but, he relies on My Adult Female Becca to be his playmate. They play almost 24/7 and Ickey is growing like a weed, being over 7 pounds now, and is as rough and tumble as they get.
Quite frequently, he'll get too rough with Becca, making her "yip" a little, and she's so compliant, that I'll step in and scold Ickey for biting in play too hard. Becca just LOVES me to do that, and wags her tail briskly when Ickey gets in trouble. I think I can even see a sly smile on her face as well.
