Strike Three?

After our morning walks the boys were allowed to play with their "special" toys. Echo always has to have the toy that Buddy has and they usually end up swapping and/or tugging. Buddy lets him win.

This morning Echo had a toy, Buddy was interested, Echo became very possessive, and the situation escalated. I broke up the melee; the end result was a serious correction for Echo. We believed that Echo learned a valuable lesson, however, there was a repeat performance this evening over an empty food bowl.

Echo worked on HEEL on the way to and at the park today. We worked hard, so we played hard too. Tonight was the weekly ear cleaning which both dogs hate. Of course this was followed by more cradling which both dogs love.
