So, our daughter Bethany has a new Boston Terrier puppy. Roscoe is 12 weeks old, about 6-7 pounds in weight, growing every time we see him, and apparently absolutely fearless.
We were curious how Drake would do with such a tiny dog, but he's been fantastic. It's like watching a patient momma dog at work. Roscoe gnaws on Drake's tail, belly, back, elbows…Drake just stares. They "wrestle," with Roscoe's tiny paws going a mile a minute and Rosco throwing his whole weight into things…and Drake lying down. They chase, and Drake actually runs from the little guy.
However, the most extreme example of the trust and control demonstrated is when Drake was lying down with his mouth open. Roscoe ran up to Drake and climbed into his mouth in order to attack him. His back legs are sitting in Drake's mouth as he chomps away on Drake's ears.
I found myself blinking in awe. Okay, okay, they definitely both know this is just play, because Roscoe wouldn't stand there and Drake…might close his mouth.
Chomp!
