Sandie and Harley

Things are very interesting at my home this week.Zoro's death has rearranged how we do things.Because I feel like Harley is in grief, I try to spend alot more time with him.We took 4 walks yesterday!Zoro was also helpful in giving him exercise.
Sandie is unconditional in her affection for him.....she wags her body,barks whines,jumps up and down at him...sometimes he turns the other way,sometimes he growls at her and pins her down,sometimes he ignores her and sometimes he wags his tail and plays back....He acts like an old man...so crotchety and in need of sleep.Thing is,2 weeks ago he acted like Sandie with Zoro....and she was the crotchety one.This doggie behavior psychology is driving me nuts.I keep wishing they would just get their little behaviors worked out so things could settle down a bit.I kow that sounds a bit insensitive when Harley is figuring out the whole alpha dog,who the heck is this puppy thing....and Sandie is just trying to figure out the puppy thing.They are great dogs:Sandie the miniature dachshund who's full name is Sandie Dutchess of Langhorne.Harley: the Jack Rat Terrier given to me by my neighbor a week after burying my mom.He did not get the best puppy training given the circumstances but he did get alot of love.I pay for the lack of discipline everyday......but it is worth it.
