Imperfect Pack Leader....imperfect dog.

So today Sue realized she had made a HUGE mistake with me. But, hey, this is the first time she ever was a REAL pack leader, but between you and me, she really blew it.

Remember Raccoon?? And how Sue would swing him around on that fishing rod thing and I would chase him?? Well, when I would catch him I got into the habit of running away and wouldn't want to let go of him so we ended up in a tug of war...more times than not.

Today Sue realized that I had become pretty aggressive about wanting to dominate Raccoon and I let her know that I did NOT want to give him up.

Anyway, she and I had a HUGE fight. I was snapping at her legs and hands and she was purrrrrty mad. Finally she went inside, read one of the dog books and came out wearing leather gloves saying she was going to "settle this nipping thing once and for all." I think she did. But, boy, I REALLY made her mad. She kept saying, "In case you think YOU'RE the pack leader; YOU'RE NOT!!!" (actually it was purrrty funny, but I did not DARE laugh at her!!)

Well, I never did think I was the pack leader; I was just doing what dogs do!
The worst part of it was that when I was eating dinner she snuck Raccoon into the garbage can. (she thinks I don't know that.) I heard her mumble, "Boy, I made a HUGE mistake with that little game!!" So you won't see Raccoon in any more pictures.

I hope she doesn't make too many more mistakes. She keeps reading the dog books, and I keep trying to be what I am: a PUPPY, for crying out loud!!
Guess that's all for today. We made up and I got over the glove thing. Whew!
love,
Elvis.
