Anatresia

Rigby did well this weekend with our friend, Steve, but she's back to her usual tricks at school. She hates the puppies. Any dog under a year old makes her growl and get very possessive of her space- her blanket area is heavily guarded.
She snapped and growled and showed fangs at the poor chocolate lab pup who sits by her. I don't know what I'm supposed to do when she does that- the trainer just makes light of it saying, "These dachshunds just keep terrorizing the lab!" (Rigby's boyfriend, Max, also hates the lab.)
I also found out that Max is still intact. I'm like, "Oh, that's why Rigby likes him!" hee hee. His problems probably stem from the fact that he's not neutered- at least the territorial marking and the aggression. But it's not my place to preach.
She still loves Max and the good thing is that she's becoming more friendly to people, which is very important to me. Hopefully, by week 8 we'll see improvement.
Oh, and I should add that Butters and Rigby give each other the sweetest greeting when reunited. They kiss and kiss each other's faces and their tails go like crazy. When we get home (we pick Butters up from Grandma's after Rigby's class) they snuggle with each other! They hate to be separated!
