White Dog has invented a "game" she plays with Quinn at 3 o'clock in the morning. Quinn goes outside through the dog door in our bedroom (presumably to answer the call of nature) and White Dog who is lying on our bed awakens and barks. Then she waits until he tries to come back in and she unleashes a volley of snarling and barking and carrying on, all the while wagging her tail. White Dog does this all from the bed so she has the added bonus of awakening Steve and I. Poor Quinn who is becoming more confident but still is walking on eggshells to please, backs off from the door and sits patiently on the deck. He tries again a few minutes later, to another salvo by White Dog. I wrap my arms around White Dog and draw her head up to the pillows where I explain that she is scaring her brother. Meantime, Steve goes to the door and holds it open begging the reticent newcomer that he is indeed welcome in the house and to ignore White Dog. If White Dog barks while he is coming in, he turns around and goes back out. Finally, White Dog gives up the game and allows Quinn to enter unassailed...and we finally can all get back to sleep!

LOL! You are such a prankster, Siku! *grins* Quinn is super shy, so give him some time before he knows that you're just pulling his leg...=)

Aw, poor Quinn!!! Now Siku, we know you enjoy a good game of "gotcha", but maybe you could do it at 3 in the afternoon?? No doubt your brother knows who is boss!! Quinn just wants to please, so try not to be too hard on him (as brother and I chuckle under our breath!!).

Love you BFF,
Prinnie

Oh, Siku, you are so funny. Poor Quinn. Atleast he's not cold while he's out there. I think Sierra would bark if I went outside through a doggy door. She's is a little too on guard.

Love,

hmmm I don't think Quinn enjoys this game but I am sure with time his confidence will grow even more :)
