It's funny how dogs can learn things from other dogs. I just never thought about it. Maui barks and growls at the front door whenever someone approaches. Basil has picked that up. I hope to break him of that habit because it's very ungentlefrenchielike (and annnnoying!)
Maui and Basil got into a fight over food two days in a row. We can see that Maui is trying to assert his dominance. He drinks all of Basil's water from Basil's water bowl but not his own. He also intentionally blocked Basil from drinking water from his bowl. I caught him doing that.
After their tiff over food, Basil wouldn't rest and seemed anxious. However Basil is still kissing, licking and wanting to play with Maui. Maui usually gets up and moves away from him, but he hasn't been aggressive. Today, we saw Maui likc Basil. I guess they are kissing and making up.

We had a little of that with Gunther when I introduced our foster pug El Guapo. The boys resolved their differences within a few days (with some supervision) and all was fine.
ReplyDeleteThe pugs have taught Betty ALL their bad habits. Like barking at the T.V. whenever an animal comes on! I'm just SO thankful she didn't teach them her nastiest habit of recycling her poo.
When the pet sitter comes over, I just have to remind her to not turn the T.V. on to Animal Planet. LOL!
