Hi all
I'd really appreciate a bit of help and advice her as I think these dogs are going to send me to the loony bin tonight. They are usually no bother at all and saunter about ignoring eachother most of the time and arguing over toys the rest of the time. But today something really strange has happened.
The boys were inside with me most of the day as we were having posts built for some new gates and there was cement involved. They just did the usual, slept and ate. They needed to stretch their legs so we went to the beach for an hour arriving back about 6.30pm. At the beach they were both acting normally (well as normal as two cockers on a beach can be
). We met one dog (CKCS) which Morgan went to say hello to and Cooper barked at from a safe distance
. For once Morgan was not a pain about coming out of the water and I got them in the car just as it was getting dark. On the way home I could hear some scuffling from the boot of the car and Cooper snarled and barked a couple of times. The beach is literally 2 minutes away so it wasn't long before we were home.
This is going to sound really funny but having put up with it for the past 3 1/2 hours it's beyond funny to me. As soon as they got out of the car morgan took off round the garden after Cooper and proceeded to 'hump' him
Now they did go through a phase a while ago of doing this (usually if they were hyper about something else) but believe me this is not the same thing. Morgan has spent the past 3 hours acting as if Cooper is a bitch. He's whining and agitated, he's following him round and I can't take my eyes off them in case poor Cooper is taken advantage of
.
They usually conk out within minutes of returning from the beach but not tonight - Morgan had other things on his mind and when he couldn't get near Cooper he'd just sit with his head on the sofa staring at him and whining. They have only just fallen asleep so it's safe for me take my eyes of them to come and get some help. I felt sorry for poor Cooper as he was getting really fed up with it and did try defending himself but he's so soft he just doesn't have it in him to bite man or beast
.
I did think that Cooper may has rolled or stood in something at the beach but after bathing both of them things never improved any. I've been spraying Cooper with all kinds of potions to try and rid him of whatever smell Morgan has taken a shine to, but so far it's not worked
.
I'd really appreciate if anyone can shed any light on this - what could have caused this sudden change in Morgan? Please someone, tell me it's not going to last forever
