A friend of mine just came to pick up her dog that I've been watching since Thursday, same friend that will be watching Tink (my dog) for 2 weeks when I go to Alaska with my mom next month... Her dog is an Australian shepherd, a breed that I've heard is one of the smartest, albeit seems a bit high strung in my opinion.. In fact my friend brought a prescription of doggie valium in case she gets to wound up.. Well, overall they got along fine, altough I brlieve that is only cause Tink (my dog) just doesn't give a f, kinda like her owner.. Morgan, the Aussie, was constantly body blocking Tink to keep her away from me, but Tink had the confidence to know how I felt about her to just go with the flow. She just laid down to sleep where it was comfy to do so, not worried about getting to her "normal spots".
I have got to give credit to Tink, she didn't value herself based on where she was able to easily rest her head, she just rested her head where she was comfortable, knowing that it didn't deminish her value based on her proximity to me.. Because I love my dog I stepped in to remind the Aussie who the alpha is on occasion, it was interesting to see the dynamics going on between the two dogs (Morgan outweighs Tink by 15-20 lbs)..
