Buddy's Wife

Interesting day here.  We found Buddy a wife.  He got to help choose her, and he was quite happy, judging by his reaction.  I don't believe his nose ever left her crotch for the first five minutes of the nuptial meeting. We enjoyed meeting Samantha, along with talking with her humans, Hazel, Hannah, and Joseph, while Buddy and Sam got to know each other in more appropriate ways, considering they were in public for goodness sakes.

Upon arriving home Samantha was greeting with a variety of manners.  Buddy showed her off to his canine sibs with a hefty dose of masculine pride.  "See here, folks? This lovely mutt is mine all mine."  Maxine snapped and snarled.  She is a Diva Doxie, after all, and must keep up appearances.  Scooby hid, channeling his inner terrier.  But only briefly.  I'll get into that in a bit.  Sugar did her sugar act.  She lay on her throne - her very own couch covered in her very own sheet that no one may dare come near - and ignored everything as beneath her.

Well, as I was saying, Buddy was quite excited to have a girl dog with working girl parts, although Samantha is a tad young and will just have to wait a while to put them to use. She's only about 8 months old by our best guess.  I have no idea how I'm going to keep her separated from Buddy when she goes into her first heat, but I'm going to try my goodest fer sure. But now we have a problem.  After all was said and done, and things had calmed down. Scooby realized that she had working parts too. 

And his inner doberman took over.  He tried to mount her.  Since he's only 5 inches tall and weighs in at 4 pounds, this didn't really work well, but he wasn't giving up.  He looked around (for a step ladder, I think) and got to work on her hind leg.  She wasn't appreciative, being a one Buddy dog, so she grabbed him with her mouth, shook him a few times - bad rat! - and threw him away. He bounced off the wall and walked in a circle for a bit, but seems fine now.   Ainsley's a bit put out, since Scooby is her dog, and now she's not so sure she likes the new interloper in our midst.  I just think it's funny. Imagine, Scooby thinking he could have such a fine lady as that?

Buddy and Scooby have always been best friends, but now I'm not so sure.  Could a girl come between them, after all this time? It happens to the best of them.
