Hi Genia! Everytime I lay with my shep/husky Cody or go to pet her, my lab, who is the newer addition of the two, goes to the toy chest, grabs a "baby" and runs to a corner, sulking and making whinning noises! When her favorite humans come to the house, and Cody gets petted first, Star will literally shove Cody out of the way, push the visitor's hand up and off Cody, and beg for hugs! Cody always seems willing to wait for her hugs and attention, just like Bandit. When push really comes to shove, Cody is still the alpha. She's just very tolerant of her still quite young sister, and very patient and often lets her have her way. When Cody thinks it's enough, she gives Star a good wack with her paw or a little nip and instantly Star retreats, lays on her back, offering Cody her exposed belly! Whenever I've had 2 dogs in the house, one always seems to be more jealous of the attention given to the other. And welcome to you, Jeffrey, and Bandit! So glad to have you all.
