The little Chi we have now had for four days is still baffling me. Yesterday he was a little angel. No barking or growl at the other dogs at all. He even refused to sleep in his own bed and snuggled with the boxers in theirs. Today he was a little grump, barking and snapping at the other dogs and he bit me when I cleaned his ears. Then I gave him this little bone treat while he was napping in his crate while I went to the store. When I got back and opened his cage, he wanted to stay in there, so I just let him. He came out an hour later and seemed in a better mood after his nap. Then he went and retrieved his treat from his cage and put it up on the arm chair with him and went to take a nap again. My boxer pup was sticking her head in his crate smelling and he got so mad at her. He came off the chair barking and growling and got between her and his crate. She would walk off and he would get back in the chair and she would come back and they went on and on until I closed the crate so she couldn't put her head in and he seemed pleased with that. Well, then Zoe was just looking up at him and his treat and he would get mad again and chase her off. He finally ate the treat and there was no more fighting until it was play time. We were playing rope tug and he got upset and ran over to snap at the other dogs. So I got the small rope toy and played tug with him until he had enough and then the other dogs got to play with me without being hassled by him. Anyway, I think he is a very funny dog, but I can't quite figure out his personality yet because it seems to change with the day. I am think he has muliple ones! :lol:
Anyway I finally came up with a name for him. It's Sharky. My husband says it is a good name because he has a ridge of hair sticking up on top of his head that looks like a sharks fin, but I say it is because he acts like a shark (always snapping and biting at everyone) :lol: .
