And now he is doted upon, the prime goal of every dog.<br /><br />And I saw a kinship with my step-dog dachshund who also tries to duel with every dog, especially big dogs that come anywhere near our building if we're out on the stoop. And she even goes after little dogs, which I do not understand.<br /><br />The building, stoop and steps belong to her, that's it. There's a lot I'm learning about dog behavior from this dog. I grew up with cats, less complex.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-77915857172403469292011-08-17T16:42:25.897-04:002011-08-17T16:42:25.897-04:00Dogs never heard of personal space, Kathy.

This book must be so much fun.<br /><br />Rocky looks quite official sitting sentry duty guarding the chair -- and the house, of course.<br /><br />I'm about to dogsit for a 17-pound dachshund who rules out building's floor and guards it from all other dogs, sometimes even humans.<br /><br />She barks and whines when one returns also if it's after hours or five minutes. I can't do anything else when I take care of her; it's 100% attention or else bedlam ensues. She can lay on me if I'm reading but she's in my face. "Personal space" has never been a big favorite of hers ... oh, well.kathy d.noreply@blogger.com
