- Min got a raincoat and boots so that we can continue walking even
- when it is raining and the boots so that she will go outside
- even when it is raining. She HATES to get her feet wet! *laugh*
- The first time she had them on it was quite a sight! She walked
- VERY slowly, lifting each foot HIGH off the ground.....poor thing,
- she did not know WHAT that was on her feet. *smile* It did not
- take her long though.....I think she likes them now, MUCH more than
- the raincoat! *laugh*
-
- My sister made her one of those "Chew Man" toys for less than $2,
- you know the ones that sell for $15? *smile* My brother (in law)
- drew the pattern and it looks JUST like the ones in the stores!
- *smile*

- It was a good Christmas indeed! Excpect for Min and her new cousin
- Buster (half Golden Retriever, half English Setter 7 month old)
- fighting for the leader position the entire weekend. I have never
- seen her so protective of her things or of Sandy, my other sister's
- Golden Retriever. Min was downright mean about it. Buster had just
- been neutered, but as usual, it had done very little good. *smile*
- He never tried it much with Min, but he did with Sandy, and Min was
- right there to step in and stp him when he did. I think the problem was
- that I thought he was in his crate when I brought Min in...she had been
- there before and knew that Sandy was there...she had been so excited about
- seeing Sandy, since we had been telling ehr all day we were going to
- see Sandy. She walks in and this NEW dog was there WITH Sandy.
- The fight started then really......she ran up and started an attack.
- We WANTED to introduce them outside...soemeon got their wires crossed.
- *smile*
-
- Anyway.....she would lunge at him any time he came near her food, her
- toys and sometimes when he went near his own toys. I know that this is
- probably just the pack instinct......and she IS a VERY aggressive,
- dominant dog anyway. But never like this. Of course, this is the
- first time we have ever introduced her to a male dog for a long
- period of time too.
-
- Hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and will
- have a wonderful New Year!

- Suzanne and Min
