=Wallee;4434979]Thanks once again Jeanie. I believe you are right about how Anyah behaved. She is a little younger than Wallee and her behavior was very puppy like. Wallee tends to behave like that as well when he is around that type of personality. I was also offered another yorkie from the breeder Summer came from who was young and puppy like however when I was told she had signs of LP I had second thoughts. The breeder thought Summer would be better for Wallee because of her calm nature. I sure hope the day comes that these 2 will learn to play like that. Interesting you mentioned the paw thing as I have a neighbor who has a Nova Scotia Duck Toler. We have walked the dogs together since they were both pups and she has always put her foot over Wallee. I thought it was play although have always heard Wallee growl when she does it so I have pulled him away from her. I refuse to let them play off leash because of her size. I learned that outside play, size does matter. When I had 3 lb Anyah here playing with 13 lb Wallee, inside the house was fine. But outside he got running one time and ended up dragging her between his legs as he ran. I almost had heart failure over her tiny legs and that was the last outside play.

A playful foot placed on another dog or mounting in playful glee is one thing but the proprietary, possessive foot placed on another dogs back, rump or head to send a definite message usually riles up other alpha dogs when it is tried on them and usually they take ready exception to it.
That visual of Wallee running and dragging Anyah sounds like a heartstopper! It does sound like they get along very well and have a lot of fun together. Here's hoping he and Summer come to something similar with a meeting of the paws and work out a comfortable arrangement that can accommodate each of their strong wills!
