A Jealous Dog

January 15, 2015

Do you have a jealous dog? I have three dogs – Chewy, Flash and Patches. Flash and Patches are fifty pound Australian Shepherd mixes, and Chewy is a 12 pound Affenpinscher mutt. They all display their jealousy in different ways. And sometimes I’m not sure what’s jealousy, loyalty, comfort, or something else. Flash, for instance, likes his comforts.

Flash loves to be right next to me on the couch. Patches, she’s just crazy. Rarely jealous, unless Hunny is paying attention to someone else. She’s a daddy’s girl. She’s also a treat girl.

Jones Windee makes her happy
Patches will do just about anything for a Jones Natural Chew. Pretty sure that doesn’t make her a jealous dog. Just a smart dog.

But Chewy. Ai yi yi … Chewy is a jealous dog. Whether I’m handing out treats …

Affenpinscher isn't happy
“Hey! Gimme my treat! Give it to me NOW!”

… or dispensing pets, Chewy is right in the middle of it. And visiting with another dog for a photo shoot? Forget it. Chewy the Jealous Dog spends ten minutes sniffing me when I get home and won’t let me out of his sight for about an hour.

Glaring Affen
“Don’t you leave me again, mama. And don’t you DARE touch another dog when I’m not around. And you sure as heck better not be giving them my treats. Ever.”

Sometimes I think I have a jealous dog, but it’s really just being a pig. Wants all the treats first. That would be all three dogs, but especially small, quick Chewy. If I’m not careful, he snatches treats from Flash and Patches’ mouths. He’s a naughty puppy.

Where's my treat?!?
Chewy is downright vicious if you take away his Jones chew. He might have taken of a finger, here. I don’t recommend taking a Jones chew from the dog. Okay, so he was really just yawning.

So what is a jealous dog? Do you have one? Love him or hate him, I actually have to agree with Cesar on this one. There really isn’t such a thing as a jealous dog. Watch the video. Dispute it. Blow up my comments. Whatever. It’s a valid demonstration of his point.

My dog’s behavior is really about me. And I’m a middle aged woman whose children are on the verge of leaving home, so I’m attaching more importance to my dogs than I ever have. They’re playing off my emotions and energy. Fortunately for them. I’m not wound very tightly. We’re all just having a good time. And there’s therapy to fix what ails me. 😉

Snuggly Bella
Snuggle therapy. With a dog. Happiness is a warm puppy.

So! Tell me about your jealous dog! Or your jealous you. And give your dog a Jones chew, will ya? It’ll make your dog smile. Naturally.

Until I write again …
