Oh Riggs, your mom loves you and could NEVER, not forgive you. Even if you did something really bad. You just have to be careful around Maggie 'cause she is just a baby and is so much smaller than you. When I first came home I was smaller than Maize and I learned to rough-house with her, but now mom yells at me sometimes because I am so much bigger than her now and I could really hurt her without meaning to. I'm sure your mom is just trying to make sure Maggie is around to be your playmate for a long time to come.

Thanks Colton, I needed some good advice from someone who could relate. Have a great day buddy! OH yeah, and watch out for Maggie's side of the story, I'm sure she will twist it to make it look like I am a bad guy, she's very sneaky....

In your defense, Riggs, that is the way that baby dogs learn not to bite too hard. It's how mama dogs teach them, by snarling and snapping at them briefly, even applying their own teeth very briefly if necessary. Usually the message gets received pretty quickly, the puppy yelps as though being killed, but leaves the adult dog alone. Unless you bit too hard, too long, or were attacking her unprovoked, you were probably okay. Sorry you have to put up with a little upstart.

I've been "taught" a few lessons from Kirby and Hoover. They're not being mean, says mom, but I say they're just being buttheads. I can understand how Maggie feels....

Oh Lola, ya big baby. You really tick me off sometimes and I DO have to teach you a lesson now and then. Riggs, boy can I relate. Mom tells me "Hoover, that's enough" as soon as Lola yips. For crying out loud, when will the kid LEARN???

Maggie is also probably pretty good at exaggerating, like me. If one of my humans even comes close to me with one of those gargantuan feet, I yelp as though being tortured, even though no one even touched me! Hehe, gets me a lot of attention though. :)

I got in trouble a lot when Linus first came to live with us. I used to drag him across the yard by his collar. Mom would get mad and make me go into my crate. I bet that your Mom is just trying to keep the peace between you two. You do have to let Maggie know her place. I bet Maggie has forgiven you!
