Teddy, the beautiful white Samoyed, let me sleep until 5:30 this morning and woke me up barking!
I have no idea why.
Even though he is bigger than Molly, my black lab, she is finally in control.
Teddy came with a toy, called the blue dog. A hard rubbery blue toy shaped into a dog that squeaks.
They play tug of war with it. Teddy growling and Molly yanking. Once Molly gets it away from Teddy she finds a place to hide it. Teddy is easily duped!
Teddy will grab on to Molly's neck and yank. Luckily Molly has that Lab double skin (or so I am told) and it does not seem to bother her.
I have begun to use the muzzle when Teddy gets crazy and won't stop mouthing Molly or barking and it is a joy.
I brush Teddy everyday and he mouths if not contained but he lets you cuddle.
My son, 14 and almost 6 foot, wrapped him in a blanket and picked him up like a baby.
Teddy seemed to love it. What other dog, I ask you, would put up with that!
So yes, indeed, Teddy is growing on me.
