Day Two of Doggie Sitting

My dog Sammy plays well with other dogs, for the most part. Being a shepherd mix, he tends to want to herd all his playmates into one convenient group by nipping them on their neck. If the dog is a large dog, he has to get on top to nip them, which is a dominance sign, which means there will be a fight if the other dog doesn’t want to be bossed around. He also doesn’t like other dogs in his home, touching his toys, drinking out of his water bowl.

The exception is Sid. For some reason, Sammy has no problem having Sid around. He doesn’t like it when Sid decides to interrupt swimming to fetch sticks—that’s a job Sammy takes very seriously—but other than that, Sid can do pretty much whatever he wants to. Including eating up all the pieces of rawhide bones Sammy leaves around the house.

According to Sammy, a new bone must be carried around for a while and mature before one chews it. After chewing has commenced, there is a stage—and it is unique for each bone—at which the raw hide can no longer touch one’s mouth, ever. But, one must hide the leftovers such that the humans can’t throw it away.

And so, Sid’s having a great time finding all of Sammy’s hiding spots.

I thought it marvelous to get rid of the half-chewed bones I know litter my house but can’t for the life of me find. Everybody wins!

Or maybe not. It turns out rawhide gives Sid gas. Extremely pungent gas.

So in addition to ball chasing, hide-and-seek, and barking at the jetskis, we now have a new game going. When Sid the labradoodle finds a rawhide bone, he runs past me so I can’t grab him. If I chase him, Sammy runs interference and trips me.

Well played Sam and Sid. Well played!
