Dear :bowl,
I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask this question or not, so please move it if needed it :) It is about me, so I figured it belongs here.
Here's the situation: I have a dog living with my boyfriend and myself. We both adore the dog, the dog loves us. The dog likes me more than my boyfriend--he prefers women (like most men!). That's okay with both of us. I like to cuddle with him (anyone else tried that with a large-sized dog? Its a *new* experience.) and Mike likes rough house with him.
The problem is that whenever Mike and I try to cuddle, hug, or touch in anyway more than a quick touch, the dog attacks him! Nothing bad, but he'll throw himself at Mike and growl.
What to do?? Anyone know of anyway to fix this? He'll be with us for a while, so I need a solution! We take the dog everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE) with us--he was neglected by his real owner, so he needs alot of loving attention right now.
Thanks,
Lizzy
p.s.---We took him to the pet store to pick out some toys. He was so precious! We showed him all of the things we thought would be good for him, tug of war ropes, frisbees, etc & let him pick out the ones he likes best. His favorite right now is a chocolate flavored frisbee!!!
