The Lady and the Tramp

Remember that adorable puppy that I loved more than life itself? Yeah.....neither do I. I brought my sweet baby Jack home from the hospital and realized very, very quickly that I have complete hatred and contempt in my heart for Angus. And Angus realized very, very quickly that if he wants to keep on living this life he better stay far, far away from that new little thing that squeaks. It is NOT a squeaky puppy toy. He learned that the mom who sort of thought his naughtiness was cute was no longer here. He was now messing with a mama bear who would protect her baby cub at all costs. 

Angus "got to" spend a week on a "doggy vacation" because he was too crazy. When he came back, it was done with great humility and a temperament change. He now sits near (but not TOO near) Jack and guards him loyally. I have to keep reminding myself of the movie "The Lady and the Tramp" and make an effort to show kindness to Angus. And I remind myself that in 6 months, when Angus is older and more calm, and Jack is older and more bored, they will be the best of friends.
