Things are going well with Angel. I am really surprised how well Gracie behaves around her. Past experiences with other dogs have not gone well.
The other dogs we have tried to adopt were males, whereas Angel is a female. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Conventional advice is never to mix sexes; it should be a male and a female together. Maybe Gracie was a breeding dog and is will rid of males? With a rescue dog, you never know what happened.
While she still growls at Angel, I can tell it is more of a corrective growl than an angry growl. Corrective growls are the kind that dogs use to signal “back off.” Think of how you would react if someone invaded your personal space. As long as the growl is corrective and does not escalate to a violent reaction, I do not correct it. Gracie is teaching Angel manners.
Well, Gracie is looking out the window, anxious for her walkie. Maybe we will meet Angel on our walkie today….
