KayAnn...for sure we have to meet! Graham usually fares very well with calm dogs who don't try to "hump" him. He is dominant but he really loves to play with dogs as long as they are not overly dominent themselves and they don't continue trying to hump him. He also likes smaller dogs (50 # and smaller) better then the larger labbies/goldens...etc. He actually has played great with a bernese mt. dog (120 pounds) and GSD's, rotties, and other large and mellow dogs. It's just the overly active and happy ones (labbies, goldens) that he has little patience for. He's a bit of a grouch sometimes Judging from what you say about Simba's personality, him and Graham sound like a perfect match!

Just let me know when you are going to be in MI next time. My schedule is slowing down somewhat, so I would be more likely to have time to meet

And as for Cassie...she's doing great. She and Ritz are starting to play but she is not very playful herself and Ritz is an absolute wild man She gets grumpy and sick of his puppy antics sometimes, and to escape she simply jumps onto the couch because he is not even close to being big enough to get up onto the couch by himself. Ritz misses Graham more then Cassie does. When I bring Graham over to my moms house to visit, Ritz just licks him and licks him, and follows him and gets all submissive and goes belly up hoping Graham will think he's cute and play with him. Ritz LOVES Graham Cassie could care less about Graham.
