stick with it Louie!

On the contrary. There are lots of sticks, but not all of them are worth fighting for. As with many things, it’s not the having; it’s the getting (and keeping) that matters.

Don’t believe me? Just try to take one of those other sticks while he’s fighting over that one.

Reminds me of when I feed the ducks and they fight over a crumb instead of taking two separate crumbs on the water.

There can only be one!

Good morning, crew!

Mine!

Sticks. Yes or no; would that include a witch’s broom stick?

And of course we all know that the stick is Louie’s!!!!

Good morning Crew!

When my Maine C**ns (apparently that breed is banned by this website) were a year or so old, they were bad to chew up everything (we lost several pairs of shoes to them), so we decided to try giving them pig’s ears to chew on instead. I gave each of them one and within 5 minutes, they were ignoring one of the ears and fighting over the other. Another time, we were visiting some friends (who had a pit) with our lab-pit mix. The dogs got along great, but ours (Nicky, who was still only a puppy) would get tired before the other (Sequoya). Sequoya quickly figured out that if she jumped in my lap, Nicky would get jealous enough to re-engage with her. I’ve decided that animals are really not much different than toddlers – though toddlers are easier to potty-train.

Someone fire up the grill

“And how many dogs are stuck like this?”

They stick to their guns, er, sticks.

Good night, Crew!

Looks like quite the game of keep-away. Sic ’em, Louie!

Good Evening, Crew.

One stick to rule them all, one stick to find them.
