[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 411363, member: 439"] All of my dogs have been rescues, so all have come with "issues". The two we had together the longest were Buster and Wyley - both boxers. If we had gotten them "un-named" it would have been Tigger and Eyore for their attitudes. Buster loved to play with stuffed toys, Wyley never quite got the concept. So Wyley would wait until Buster would put a toy down, then sneak it off and hide it. They would love to "fight" each other (playfully), Buster would go after Wyley's neck, but Wyley outweighed Buster by 20+ lbs so he couldn't get him to be submissive. Wyley would just grab Buster's leg and pull him over (Wyley was raised in a back yard in a cage before we got him and never socialized). We had to have Buster put down first, and we were extremely worried that Wyley would mope and be upset. I think he was for one day, then it totally left his brain that there had been another dog in the house (Wyley definitely wasn't the brightest bulb in the box). We now have Buddy, a boxer/lab mix. Buddy took at least 6 months to warm up to us. He was over 7 when we got him, and he had been shoved to so many homes that he had no trust of humans. He is now like glue - he has to be touching one of us at all times except at night. At night he had claimed one of the livingroom chairs as "his" and sleeps there. Problem is, he's too big for the chair, so often falls out of it during the night. I'll wake up to a "thump" then he'll very sheepily come in and lay on the floor of our room. [/QUOTE]
