dog and babies

Beej and Abby asked how my dog was adjusting to the new and lower position on the totem pole, or in the pack or what ever you want to call it.

At first he didnt' like it, truth be told he still doesn't like it, although the recent april blizzard help his attitude a great deal, he just lay in the snow chewing on random sticks yanked out of the beaver dam. The dog is spoiled, it turns out when you have a beaver for a neighbor, you have an ample supply of free sticks cut to the perfect length to chew on.

Anyway, The dog was feeling a little bit sad about his new lower position, so I took him for a walk Friday. It was snowing somethign awful. Anyway, I sat him down in the park, or rather it went like this, we get to the community park for our development and I let him off the leash. So runs to the swollen creek, S i walk over there and he runs back to the park, so I walk over there and he runs back to the creek. This went on for about 40 mintues.

At which point I sat him down, or he sat down to pant and eat snow (he does that a lot). so i sit down next to him and straching his head explain to him, that he got a demotion in the pack order, but not to fret becuase so did I. He seemed to take heart in that everyone got demotions and got up to run some more.
