For Easter weekend Harley got to spend some time with his friends. Overall it was a rather successful weekend and Harley displayed some decent manners compared to his last visit with his family.
Harley started his adventure visiting Duke the Beagle. Duke is about 5 months old and is still learning how to behave around other puppies!
Harley took the opportunity to teach Duke that only little agile dogs can be on the furniture, so when Duke was too rough Harley would jump on the couch... and well tease him a little. We all laughed when Duke would lay on the floor on his belly and howl at Harley to come down and play!
Finally Duke got his way and the two of them played for the night. They also got up and played all morning too. This made Duke very happy.
Unfortunately the two spent too much time running around that this was the best of the 30 attempts to take a picture of the two together.
The next day we went for Easter dinner to see cousin Blackie. I am very proud of my little pooch. You see Blackie and Harley haven't really been getting along. Blackie doesn't like another dog in his kitchen, and Harley likes to boss his big cousin around. He gets very sassy with Blackie. Well today after an initial barking match, the two of them calmed down and actually stopped barking. Blackie laid down beside Harley's crate and Harley quietly took treats from me while I praised both boys! SUCCESS! We got 15 minutes of peace and quiet this visit, we'll see if next time we can get 30 min, or even 15 minutes of the two of them loose in the kitchen. :) My only disappointment with the whole thing is that I was so busy treating the dogs (each to a hand) that I had no way to record proof of this event :( oh well, there is always next time.
