We took our dogs on a long needed vacation where our other friend's dog is going to be in the house with us. Surprise doesn't understand boundaries and Trouble is very protective over his space (and humans). This poor dog is tired of playing with Surprise and just wants to be with her owner. Trouble suddenly loves our friend more than me ;( and decides to guard him.
Tension is high! But, I thought I had tired him out prior to bringing him into the house. Little did I know our 30 minute walk wasn't enough. What we should of done was let him go for a swim!!!! This house had a pool and it was his first time in a pool instead of the open ocean. He was so over the moon he bumped into his roommate and didn't realize she was there. Success! Hopefully future doggy introductions go just as smoothly. Though now my kids have another reason to ask for a pool.

We adopted 3 rabbits in August. One large orange rabbit, one blue rabbit, and one smaller white and brown (with a mustache) rabbit. Our dogs are typically great with all other animals, but Trouble was wary of the white bunny. He treated him like he was another dog invading his home. I was a bit horrified, but at the same time thought it was incredibly silly since Trouble is a jealous boy. Then the silly thing ran into Trouble's crate! I was thinking... this bunny has a death wish. But given a few months, we're all big happy family. Trouble enjoys cuddling with any of the bunnies that come his way, but now they have learned to stay clear LOL
