Otis that is. Ever since we moved he is a brand new dog. One that I'm ashamed to say that I don't like very much. He is possession aggressive. When he gets something in his mouth he won't let go. He runs with it and if you chase him he will throw his body on top of it and almost dare you to take it from him. He will growl at you and sometimes wrap his teeth around your hand or arm if you are trying to take it. He doesn't actually bite, but he applies enough pressure to make it hurt. He eats EVERYTHING! In the month that we have been in the house he has eaten 5 shoes, Roxy's bowl, the swiffer, 2 tv remotes, 3 dog beds and a couple of baby toys.
Last night was an adventure. My son brought my granddaughter for a visit. I bought her one of those roll up play mat things. Jimmy took it out of the box and before he could look back down Otis had appeared out of nowhere and took off with one of the stuffed animals that came with it. By the time we got him under control, 2 of the toys had been shredded. Later, he came running out of Joe's room with his boxers in his mouth. I told him to sit. He sat. I said drop it. He tilted his head and looked at me as if I were crazy. DROP IT! and he took off!
Yet this destructive, insane dog will sit and wait patiently for his food. He won't eat until I tell him it ok. I can take his bowl away while he is eating any time I need to, he just sits and waits for me to give it back. He is SO gentile when I hand feed him or give him treats. Then he turns back into crazy dog using everything from the couch to my arm as a chew toy.
I love him so much but he isn't making it easy.
