Most people assume the pooches love playing with each other.
But really...they never do.
And we love that they rarely interact.
When we were first looking for a second dog, we thought that we needed a dog that would play with Miss M all day long.
Little did we realize that all day would mean all night, all morning, all afternoon, all evening and then back to all night.
The first dog we were considering adopting turned our life upside down during the foster-to-adopt period. Miss M and the foster would rough house at all time of the day and night. We would wake up to the dogs slamming against the bed, running up and down the hall and wrestling on the floor. After three weeks of sleepless nights, we finally decided that this was not the life for us and we had to find a dog that would tolerate but could careless about Miss M.
Sure enough, we found the perfect dog for our lifestyle, Mr. B. Though Miss M loves to provoke Mr. B by chewing on his hind legs, shoving a tug toy into his face and even taking hostage a beloved stuffy, Mr. B will either ignore her instigation or save his stuffy and run to his safe place, his tepee.
When needed, he is quick to oblige and become her favorite pillow and chair.
Do other people have pups that love to play? Or are happy just co-existing as roommates?
