Ok Pups and Puppettes..Small Doodles is gonna kick it back ol' school for ya. The summer is almost over, and I'm sure you've got some questions burnin' deep within those gutz of yours.
We're bringin' back.. (tailroll, please...) The Dear Doodles Column. Nothin too complex for The Doodles. Nothin not complex enough for the Doodles.. Ask away.
Sorry Cashew.. The Dear Doodles column was an article in our Newsletter where doggies could ask me any question they had on their minds.. from nutrional values of stuff to why their little punk brothers always got the primo spot on the bed.
Why does Dingles grrrr at Blackie when Blackie jumps on the bed ? But then plays with him once he is IN bed? Mom always thought Dingles was trying to be dominant but if so, why would he then play instead?
See, my wacko brother does this too. And really, I mean wacko in the nicest way possible, Lyfle. You know I loves you so!
Some pups are funny like that. Basically, what I think is Blackie IS trying to assert his dominance. Sometimes, Mommy's are right, but PLEASE don't ever tell them that.. It leads to a lifetime of being wrapped in bubblewrap before going outside, and let's not even mention their swelled egos. Sometimes, they need to think they're wrong..
Has your Mommy ever stood on the curb to be taller than someone, or heard of some work-type bosses having higher chairs than their workers? It's pretty much the same concept.. When Blackie is on the bed, he is higher than Cashew, giving him (that's Blackie) the feeling of power. Once Cashew is on the bed, they are again at the same level.. which makes them 'equals' again.
Please replace Cashew with Dingles.. in every instance of that last post.. sometimes, I'm not all there.. sometimes, I'm here.. sometimes, I'm neither here nor there..
Dear Doodles,
Why do I smack my head against my guinea piggy sister pen and drag it around the house (it has wheels). Why do I get all excited when she comes home from work for the weekend Maximus who loves his piggy
