Doggysitting Rosie

Our friends Lisa & Phillip have gone out of town and we are doggysitting Rosie. I told Lisa that I would blog about the dog adventures so she could be assured that little Rosie was still alive in our crazy dogpack!
Rosie is a black poodle mix approx. 2 yrs old and weighs 19lbs (I weighed her). She set the tone right away that she didn't want to be messed with. She showed her teeth and gave a quick snap-bark to help identify her personal space.
Sampson got the message right away...stay away from the barker.
Lucy on the other hand is a little less experienced and thought that the snap-bark was a signal for play.
Finally Rosie gave in and figured she might as well play with Lucy since she won't leave her alone. Here are the 2 of them having fun on the couch.

I thought it was funny that Sampson (175 lb) was hiding at the end of the hallway wanting nothing to do with the small dogs playing.

He later came closer to be a part of the fun.

Rosie does seem to enjoy being around Sampson more than Lucy because he basically ignores her and gives her some peace. Here they are sleeping together in Sampson's bed.
