Jules wasn’t happy about the noise but he was distracted by little pieces of treats. He is way more of a barkybutt schnauzer than the other two. He’s also ridiculously strong, I was playing tug of war with a toy while laying on the couch and honestly he almost pulled me off! At our party yesterday we had my BIL and niece bring their little yorkie and yorkie-poo to entertain Jules and chan. They got along fine though Jules was five times their size. I hate when people pick up their dogs bc then Jules was just agitating for them to be put down. I’m trying to remember who else did that but it annoys the hell out of me bc I have to sit there and continually reprimand my dog to not jump, not bark, not agitate, when if they’d just put their little purse dog down Jules would sniff him a bit and then walk away. But the allure of having it held up high like that makes him furious. Note to owners of purse dogs aka HOBBES. Don’t worry no ones going to eat your widdle precious!
They just had an episode covering that issue on Dogs in the City last night, with Hubbell Yoda, a blind foo-foo dog she pushed around in a stroller. She learned that if you give dogs a chance to just sniff each other, they work things out amicably.
Sounds like Jules behaved in typical doggie fashion-I was told by the obedience school people when I got my first german shepherd never to do that pick up thing with any small living creature-including a human (my daughter was a little one then)-in front of the dog, lest a tragedy happen-it is like the dog is either jealous or thinks it is a treat...
Max is NOT amused.
