Re: Torrey and Maple

["Carol Jackson" <thejacksons@dellnet.com>]

In Sasha's case, we bring her in to eat first, completely.  Hunter would try
to steal her food because he inhales his food and she very carefully and
slowly eats and chews her food which can take up to a half hour.  It really
ticked him off at first, but he expects it now, and waits for the shiny bowl
which he knows is his.

Hunter has ALWAYS tested the water around  here, at least once a day, just
to see how well we are paying attention.  He knows he cannot get away with
anything around the head bitch (me) but he sure tries with everyone else,
especially Shaun, because he very rarely corrects him.  Suprisingly he is
very patient and tolerant of the kids and knows I will kick his butt if he
even thought about trying something with the bitches kids!!  Smart dog!!!
But I notice he will get into mischief when he is bored.  ie, digging holes
in the flower beds, chewing on the picnic table, pulling every doll out of
the closet and stacking them very evenly in the front room.  Weird stuff
like that.
