Slaying the dragon

Our poor dog.  The two of them have really started to terrorize play with her.  They chase her all around, don't let her just lay down and relax but instead use her as a pillow/ beanbag/ trampoline.   She just puts up with it and is oh, so gentle with them.  We are trying to teach them 'gentle', but so far they only get it half the time.

Cooper's newest thing is to chase her with his sword.  He looks like he's trying to slay a dragon.  Scout just runs from him and mostly gets away.  Cooper laughs and laughs at the game of chase and Scout's low grumbly growls and yelps.DSC03418

Charlotte loves to give Scout kisses and also share her food.  When she has snack, she puts the food in her mouth takes a couple of chews, then walks over to Scout and opens her mouth for Scout to 'share'.  It's a little gross.  We think they do these things because they love her so much. 

Chris took Scout to this week because her allergies are still acting up and she chews up her feet so they are red and raw.  We have changed her food in case she's developed an intolerance to her old food, we wipe her feet with baby wipes after coming in from outside in case it's something outside, and we take her to the vet almost once a month to make sure everything is okay.

Chris got to see first hand how much Charlotte loves Scouty.  The vet came out to take Scout back to the exam room.  As soon as Scout disappeared from view, Charlotte started bawling.  Real alligator tears and everything.  When the vet brought Scout back, she was full of smiles and started clapping!  Nobody takes her doggy.
