The dogs in this pic are Bandit and Muskwa (the red and white). Muskwa is a true alpha male--dogs just accept that he is the boss of them and he rarely has to fight to prove he is the top dog. Generally he is a kind and gentle pack leader. However, he has always hated Bandit. Bandit was raised alone by idiots and doesn't speak "dog" very well. Bandit thinks he should be an alpha dog, but he can't back it up. After some huge vet bills, we decided just to keep the two of them apart at all times. My hubby is injured right now and bored out of his mind at home. So he decided to make them tolerate each other. Three weeks and many bags of treats later, they aren't buddies, but they can be in the same room without bloodshed. There was some minor growling and somebody marked the cd rack, but that's nothing for these two! Bandit had to have his ear stitched back on last year!
This was the scene outside my picture window yesterday. They both decided they wanted in the house and that they could tolerate each other if it meant coming in! I am just so proud of them!!
I am loving this digital camera!!!
