Ryan, I defiantly agree with you about dogs getting jealous of other dogs. No offense, but most men tend to forget, or don't want to believe that dogs, well most animals actually, have brains, and emotions. You can't tell me that they don't. I know from my own experience with the dogs I have now, as I said, I have 7, and three of them are house dogs. If I am playing with Pete, or petting on him, Grace will come, and literally shove him away from me with her body, then basically crawl in my lap, leaving no room for him. When I am outside with the whole group, they all are constantly battling for my attention, and will do whatever it takes it get it, including doing things they know are against the rules. My own belief is that dogs know who are the favorites, and if they do not feel as though they are special in some way, then they are not going to give you their all. I have seen it time and time again with dogs and horses.
Just a thought/example. My sister used to have a 9 year old barrel horse. This particular gelding was a total bad a**, like no joke. He out ran Sheri Cervi's back up horse by 1.5 seconds in Liberty pen. Sheri actually offered to by him. Now, my little sister is known world wide (LOL) for her temper, and it doesn't matter who she is mad at, if you are in her way, your going to be getting the chewing for whatever she is mad at, and that includes her animals. Now Kip (the gelding) was funnier than hades, because if Aimee hauled him somewhere, and unloaded him being nice and loving on him, he would pour his heart out for her. But if she unloaded him cussing and being pissy, he would warm up just fine and dandy, then would BUCK, BAWL, AND BELLY ROLL all the way through their run. It didn't matter if it wasn't Kip that she was actually mad at, if Aimee took it out on him, he was going to make her pay for it.
Tell me they don't know what's going on.
and thanks for the compliment on the gyp. That is actually Grace. She is truly a miracle dog in many ways. LOL If she was a cat, she's is out of lives.
