I did the same thing with the next one and bam bam took his little frog and liked it. He took it to his bed and hid it. He knew it was his. Pebbles ran over, stole it from the bed and ran away!! I took it back from her said no, gave the toy back to bam bam, and gave her back HER version of the toy. What is up with this?? She won't let him have any toys to play with. She steals all of them out of his mouth. She is being greedy. Poor bam bam. What should I be doing to correct this??

I think it's a natural thing. My Teddy does this to the downstairs neighbor. Uggie will get a stick and they will tug after it and when it breaks they will fight over whatever the other has and when i brought a couple of teddy's toys out to see what teddy would do.. he had his mouth full with his big plush bone but was STILL trying to pick up his duck lol it was funny bcause he would bend down and bop it with his mouth.

Porsche gets everything!! If Bentley has it first, she will whine and stare him down until she gets it. Sometimes she growls and grabs. If Bentley is laying on a blanket she wants, she'll make him get off so she can have it! She is so bossy!!

I guess they are just like skin kids!!

Last week I bought a new batch of six Nylabones. Three of them were the giant ones....supposed to be for Rottweillers & the like as the Skyes EAT them!...Button had pinched the lot & stuffed them under the blanket in his bed!

Mind you, it isn't just all the toys he pinches. Yesterday I found the bottle opener, two teaspoons, two odd socks, a pen & my husband's missing mobile phone in his bed......it was only when I rang the mobile's number, to see if we could find it, that I discovered his latest stash of treasure

I have to say that everytime I have seen little Pebbles pic w/ your posts I have stopped to ooh and ahhh - what a sweet little face! That being said, I find it hard to believe that such a sweet little face could possibly be guilty of being so selfish I am on Pebbles side - I think Bam Bam is trying to set her up to look bad to try to worm his way to the #1 dog spot that rightfully belongs to her!! Your story makes me miss my kids younger days and want a companion for my Roxy puppy! Good luck mom!

haha im glad you like it here. thanks about pebbles

yes she is a little cutie but her evil side is begining to show!! poor bam bam is sooo tiny.. poor thing has no chance to fight her off. you think she would share with all the toys we have but noo!!!

doesn't seem to be. I've tried and tried with teddy and he's just the same. and the owner of the pug also has a kitten and the pug and kitten do it to each other too.

omg! these guys are like 2 yr. olds. It is funny, yet frustrating at the same time. The one who steals is saying, "I'm the boss! " AND all thise stuff is mine, all mine!

awww i don't know what you can do to correct it but i have the same problem lol London steals the toys from everyone, from Sophie and Teddy and she makes sure they can't take them. She's just dominant, maybe Pebbles is too...that's just how it is when you have more than 1, one is more dominant than the other. They always want what the other has

you're so right

luvtif · 07-20-2008, 07:18 PM

We have the same problem!! It is weird though cause Roxy steals from Malibu

He has lived here 3 years and she has lived here a month and a half! She will go take things right out of his mouth or sit and watch and then pounce on him. It is very sweet that Malibu just puts up with it. He has never snapped at her...I feel so bad for him. Selfish girls!!
