Like, maybe, up higher? or through a dog door? or something? So they have a place to go to be unmolested? It may help with both the snapping behavior and the opportunity to snap.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-89854820331340053322007-10-01T20:12:00.000-04:002007-10-01T20:12:00.000-04:00No advice, just virtual hugs.

It was bliss while she was too young to move after him and he could lick her feet at will, but once she could crawl after him, he started finding his escape route. His big thing is to curl his top lip to show off his teeth when she gets too annoying (because her favorite thing to do these days is drag him around in a deathgrip under his armpits like a cat), but once or twice he actually did tell her to buzz off.<BR/><BR/>I asked our Vet about it, and he assured me that it's like a sibling relationship. Lovey has never tried to bite, or do anything other than tell Lady to piss off when he's had enough. For our part, we'd get him out of the situation while telling Lady why we were moving him, or why Lovey didn't like to have his eyelid lifted while he was napping, and how we can't do that to him. It took a lot of "Gentle Sweetie" before she started to get it.<BR/>These days the relationship is much better, Lovey has even been known to nap with Lady in her bed (love it!), and now with Mister, it's all old hat. <BR/><BR/>I personally can vouch for Murray's harmlessability, and I'm positive he'll figure this out. Especially since Tango is so well adjusted. He'll come around.Chatty Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741907859944987779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-75167923132637883632007-10-01T08:50:00.000-04:002007-10-01T08:50:00.000-04:00Maybe Murray is annoyed that Gabe keeps getting bi...Maybe Murray is annoyed that Gabe keeps getting bigger and bigger, while he is staying so small ;-)<BR/><BR/>But you are probably right about him being tired of having his space invaded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
