Sparky is a an adorable pup. I wasn’t going to post about this, but covering for him to preserve his image seemed dysfunctional and dishonest.
Sparky and Rusty have been getting along pretty well. When I take them both on a walk, Sparky is not on a leash so he is up ahead, leading the way. Occasionally, they are close enough to play doggie frolicking games. If it seems to be getting intense, I pull Rusty back and send Sparky on.
I’ve been feeding them individually, with the other guy crated. Last night, I fed Sparky first, and wanted to see if he could handle being out while I fed Rusty. It didn’t go well.
Sparky stayed back when I let Rusty out. When Rusty started eating, Sparky went in to join him. Rusty didn’t want to share. It went kinetic. When they started the furious snapping at each other, I reached in to separate them.
Since Sparky was doing most of the biting, I blame him. It wasn’t intentional. I should not have reached in. Both dogs have had all of their shots, so that’s not a concern.
There is a photo after the jump, so don’t click.
