Poor Oscar. He can be so grumpy but he can also be so kind to Cooper. I tell Cooper every day that he’s lucky we’re never getting a new puppy (never say never, right?) because he deserves payback for how he treats Oscar.
Last night while I was doing a couple of things on the computer, Cooper was sleeping mostly on top of Oscar. I would never have thought Oscar would let that happen.
Part of me kept thinking getting a puppy would be good for Oscar and part of me was afraid Oscar wouldn’t be nice to him. I’ve been so surprised at how kind and patient Oscar is with Cooper. They can get into some rough battles with teeth showing and growling but that seems to be their way of playing. They could each hurt the other but they have not so I’m considering it playing. I’m not sure how much having Cooper has improved Oscar’s attitude and fear of everything.

I know someone with multiple dogs who shows videos of them “playing bitey face” It looks like they are trying to bite each other, but if the resident human calls it play, I’ll accept that.
