'Mmm...it was rather delicious...anymore knocking about?'Now where could the rest of my grated cheese sandwich possibly have got to? View attachment 111978813

Thanks for your reassuring words...I feel better already! Yes..in case of the younger one, I do not trust her to roam around house when I'm out, she either has to go into cage or being shut in a kitchen..where as the older one had my trust to behave already in earlier age than the other one is now..they are very different beasts.Dogs - don't you just love 'em, @Finsky For what it's worth, I don't think it necessarily works to treat all dogs as equals and make life 'fair' - if one needs firmer boundaries, they will probably be happier with those boundaries, and not think twice about the fact that the other dog is treated differently - it's just the way it is. And if your young 'un settles OK in the crate at night and gives you some sleep - that can be her new 'bedroom' rather than a consequence for being a PITA.
My two human boys weren't, and aren't treated in quite the same way. DS2 could be trusted with OH's air gun (shooting tin cans down the garden), DS1, though two years older, couldn't - he'd turn towards you, air gun in hand, to say something while pointing it straight at you DS1 has a long-term chronic illness and may end up inheriting more than DS2 because DS2 has a good job, and DS2 is fine with that.
there is SO many ways some of the dogs behaviour is quite comparable to our humans ones...or at least explainable in same terms.
They are almost uncharted waters for me but in terms of girls I'm more familiar of the teenage behaviour...HUH..that can be bad enough!Yes - the number of times I've said to people regarding their dogs' behaviour, 'Just think of teenage boys...'!
By the sound of it my mum must have had easy time with us..well..with me at least. I was more of old fashioned tom boy girl..didn't really care much about clothes and would rather be in forest and build dens and I was in a hurry to earn my own money as soon as it was possible and buy my own things.I reckon boys are so much simpler than girls - I avoided all the business of who is whose best friend today, and what she said to her, and she's not talking to her, and why can't I wear high heels, makeup and sexy clothes? They just hit each other over the head instead
Having said that, DS2 did go through a phase of being drawn to the girls' clothes section of Mothercare, particularly the sparkliest and the pinkest dresses, and wore more makeup than I did when he went through his Goth phase
I start sounding like I'm pouring some childhood trauma out..
Ha...I was recipient for all the hand me downs from relations...thought those days it didn't really matter if they were for boys or the girls..anything was considered useful and money saving. Being first born, my parents were quite likely pushed financially as they were still young themselves and trying to make ends meet in their new lives together. Being 70's youngster...well..LOL...the 'looks' were bit limited even with adults and I was 'born old' so I wasn't pampered like my fair bit younger sister that was treated very differently....but she was brought up in different times too.And what better place to do it? I only had brothers, so I grew up wearing my older brother's hand-me-downs. It niggled that my older brother would be allowed to do things that I wasn't, nor not without supervision (wiring a plug springs to mind). But that wasn't so much to do with gender as with him being a hyperintelligent gifted child who was born halfway adult, and I... wasn't...
It's always struck me that dealing with Jasper's tantrums is very similar to dealing with DS2 when he was struggling with anger management in 6th form - or rather he controlled his anger at school but when he got home he needed to let rip, and I was in the firing line, and a safe verbal punchbag. Letting them blow themselves out and getting themselves under control rather than shouting back at them and telling them to BEHAVE!! NOW!! was much more effective. Eventually.....
