New puppy

Remembered I had a blog and thought I'd better update.
Got a new puppy on Monday of last week - Wallace - a Lhasa Apso, and half brother to our other dog Corrie. Crate training and house training results in serious sleep deprivation. Thankfully my wonderful wife took care of that, as I have a 9 to 5 and she works from home. But Wallace is as cute as anything. Just like his brother was at his age.
What's amazing about dogs is their innate desire to assert dominance over each other. Our puppy runs up to Corrie (who's 2 1/2 now) and if Corrie isn't in the mood to run around, he'll bare teeth and bark right in Wallace's face. And Wallace won't give in. Just sits there. I know there's a lot of distrust in adult dogs when it comes to puppies, and Corrie's behaviour is typical of that, but it's amazing how Wallace will not back off. What's funny is if Corrie is barking at something else, like the landscape guys in our yard, then Wallace runs into his crate and hides in the back.
Enough of Dog Karma 101. Need Coffee.
