Day 131

Dog 1 is the most friendly and sweet dog I know. So when my friend's dog and dog 1 got into a scuffle the other night I was surprised to see him stand up for himself. After we separated the dogs to assess the lack of damage, dog 1 was downright smug. When we got home that night he stayed right by my side and refused to follow husband when husband called for him. That's when we realize dog 1 thought he was protecting me. I have to admit that I did squeal when the scuffle happened (it was too puny to be a scream).

I didn't think dog 1 had a protective bone in his lanky body. I was wrong. Dog 1 is still loving and friendly, but he feels like he's tough stuff. I think he's suddenly turned into my dog and not husband's.
