I called S today to ask about Snowy. S didn't have time for Snowy last night. He left it to his assistant to take care of him. It seems Snowy was moody and didn't eat his dinner. Hearing this made me feel a tinge of sadness and pity for him. However, Snowy must have a firmer owner than us. I think we are too soft on him. A dog should not growl nor snap at its owner without a reason....it just goes to show that he is trying to be the alpha male, the leader of the pack, in the family, knowing that when he bites, we are afraid to put medication in his wet ear canals. He's a smart dog and has learnt that he can get what he wants if he growls or bites. He may be cute in appearance, but I guess, even in animals, their nature varies....some are more docile and sweet, some are just born aggressive, like Snowy. I would say on hindsight, that Snowy is not an appropriate name for him as Snowy denotes a dog with a sweeter temperament. He'll be more appropriately named Tiger or even Growler!
Anyway, we wish Snowy all the best on finding the right owner. Though we miss him, it's the best for all concerned.
At the moment, I am a bit tramautised by him, but just a little. Luckily his bites are not deep. It's his growls and snarls that put me off and I try not to like the images linger in my mind for too long.
Love Theresa
