I have a new playmate. (Mom was so surprised that she didn’t get the video just right, so please overlook that.)
Her name is Xena. I thought and thought and finally realized I had to play more gently with her than I do with Riley. Riley and I play this way, but we are rougher. Now Xena’s not afraid and we are having tons of fun together!
Be still, Xena. Just rest for a moment, OK?
Love and wags, Lucy
I have a new playmate! (I think I could have done a better job on the video than Mommy did, but I was busy playing. And excuse the gagging at the end…I got some hair stuck in my throat.)
Her name is Lucy. I haven’t had another dog to play with since I left my littermates. Now Lucy is playing nicely with me and I don’t feel like she is going to run me over and smoosh my brains out. We played all day long! Of course, we took little breaks to eat and go potty – outside! Then we played again until it was time to go to bed. I can’t wait until we play together again tomorrow!
I am Xena the Schnauzer Warrior Princess

Thanks Lucy. I appreciate all the encouragement because sometimes there are days when it just looks like it will never get better.

Can you tell I’m practicing my Warrior Princess skills? Lucy doesn’t hurt me, and Mom’s ALWAYS in the room with us when we are playing.Lucy said this is how bullies play together – like her and Riley – only much, much rougher. ❤

You two are perfecting the game of BiteyFace and raising it to new levels. Be careful, so nobody gets hurt.

Me too! I knew Lucy would be good to her, but it just took time for her to realize she couldn’t play the same as with Riley. They play all the time now.
