Welcome, welcome to Pet Talk! I am sure Carrie, our "resident" dog behaviorist/special friend, will have more pertinent info than I will. As long as no one is getting hurt, this all may shortly sort itself out, once everyone is clear on the new "order of the pack."

What's your pup's name? I jave one old, old picture that I found not too long ago, and shouted - "Hey, Lorna Doone!" She was my great-grandmother's Scottie, and beloved of my (Great) Aunt Bertha, so I heard many stories of her when I was growing up. Is yours a lapdog? The picture I have is Lorna Doone in Great-Grandmother's lap, and they both look pretty happy!
