Puppy Play

Crosby doesn't have a lot of friends. She's a bit of a loaner and would much rather be with Derrick and I then other dogs. When we walk past other dogs on walks she hardly even looks at them and she always gets comments about how good she is from the owners whose dogs are going wild to see her. For the most part we like this about her but it can cause problems when our friend's dogs come over and she's growling at them to leave her alone.

The friends she does have are either smaller then her or she met them as puppies so she met them when they were smaller then her. I think her behavior towards other dogs is anxiety related so Derrick and I make an effort to introduce her to our friends dogs when they are puppies so Crosby will get along with them in the future.

This weekend Michael and Rebecca stayed with us and brought their 8 month old pup Zoey.


Zoey is bigger then Crosby now but she is one of the few dogs that Crosby will actually play with. Like all out wrestle. She lets Zoey pin her down which is amazing to me...that is not something she's usually OK with. She will still get a little protective of Derrick and I and chase Zoey off if she gets too close to us for Crosby's comfort but it usually just takes us shooing Crosby away from us to snap her out of that.




She's now passed out on the floor recovering from a full weekend of play! It's so fun to see her interact with other dogs because it's not her norm. Derrick and I were pretty proud parents :)
