My hubby gets up at 2am to go to work, but his days off of course, he sleeps thru the night. Rocco is so used to sleeping in bed with me, and thinks my bed is our bed, well one Sat night, hubby fell asleep downstairs, woke up at 3am and came up to bed. Rocco was sleeping on hubby's side, so quietly he tried to move him to his basket at the foot of our bed (it sits on my hope chest), Rocco growled and snapped at him. Michael told him, 'No' and placed him in his basket. Rocco ran back to hubby's side of the bed and growled and snapped at him. Needless to say Rocco was in the doghouse that weekend!
My 21 yr old daughter, Danielle, moved home last August and had our granddaughter in November, Rocco has been guarding her since the day we brought her home. So when we brought home Bella in March, the new puppy was curious when Danielle & baby Lauren came to visit (they moved out in Feb.), Rocco ran over to the carseat and began growling at Bella...he did not want Bella anywhere near his baby!
I am comforted to know other dog's do this, too! |
