Last week I took Sadie ( my 1 1/2 yr old Black Lab/Dalmation mix) to the pet store, and as usual, she liked checking out the other animals. First she sniffed the 2 adorable toget cats they had, but they didn't move, so they weren't too interesting. Next, she and a ferret had a sniff-off, and I think she kinda liked him, but then she founf the Guinea Pig. This pig was so cool! She would hie in her igloo and pop in head out, then vveerryyy slowly, she would come all the out. She and Sadie would sniff, and then Sadie would put a paw up on the cage and she would run back in the igloo...but she would pop right back out! They did this 2 or 3 times. The last time she sorta squealed and little, so I took Sadie away cause I didn't want to scare her.
For those of you who have both dogs and small pets, do you allow any interaction between them? Does it work or do the dogs not understand how much bigger they are? Sadie has always been so gentle with small puppies/dogs and with children, i wonder if she would do the same with a small pet....but then there is Cincy.... :)
