Happy birthday, beautiful!

What a cute pair they make! Congrats!

Sounds like resource guarding, and you are correct that he did everything right--growling first and then snapping when you didn't respond to the growl. He's also shown excellent bite inhibition if he didn't even break the skin; he definitely could have done damage had he chosen to. I know firsthand that it's scary when it happens, but there's no reason to panic. Research "trading up"--basically the idea that you offer him something he wants more than whatever he's guarding. You should also work on the "drop it" command because there *will* be other times when he gets hold of something that's dangerous and you need to get it away from him. Take a deep breath and don't worry about turning him into a problem dog. Sounds like he's a great dog and you're just still on the learning curve...three months isn't long at all! Be patient with yourself and with him. You did well by not punishing him.

Me too. Hence "some air plants." We are talented!

I have never been able to either, until I got a spider plant, a prayer plant, and some air plants. I literally googled "plants you can't kill" (The fern above is an anomaly; I killed one riteawaykwik before this mini one.) And by hanging all of them I don't have to worry about the cats eating them or using them as a litter box.

Olewo carrots work like a charm.

What faboo pics of everyhoundie! Sweep's sitting this one out, but I have Bird Reynolds and a greyhound ornament!

The Divine Miss M! Happy birthday!! Camp Greyhound sure knows how to throw a party and chase those CRAP-19TM blues away!

What a relief!

Thanks for doing your part, Tiger!
