Leader of the Pack

Oso is a dog with a very selfish character. It seems as if  his intention is to prevent Drap from eating absoutely anything in fact Oso makes it nearly impossible for Drap to eat his own food. I would understand if Oso got a little upset because Drap was eating his own food but that is not the situation here. Poor Drap seems so afraid when Oso approaches him even at a distance it's very clear to visualize that Drap fears Oso tremendously. Drap is actually beginning to get very skinny I feed him but Oso doesn't always give Drap the previlage to eat which aggravates me. Sept 22.  

      It's easy to see that Drap is terrified in this image.

In similar ways, Oso doesn't allow Drap to get too close to me. He always has something to do like  for instance, he bites Drap for no apparent reason or he jumps on him out of no-where. I sometimes wonder if Oso does this to demonstrate that he's the leader and if so he must feel threatened by Drap's presence or else he simply wouldn't bother to react in the way he does. Oh no here Oso goes tyring to show off his superiority to Drap by constantly jumping on him and growling. Sept 22.   

Oso's behavior makes me come to the conclusion that he must feel that he's not only in control of Drap but of his owners as well including myself. The reason why I believe this may be the case is because when my sibilings or myself yell at Oso for doing something he isn't supposed to be doing he continues  as if nothing happened. To avoid Oso from being further destructive I must let him know that he isn't in control I still haven't figured out how but I'm sure it will come to me. 

 

   Despite the fact that Oso sees him self as the leader of the pack which makes him come off as an evil dog that no one wants to approach, when he's not around other dogs he acts like a completely different dog with a different personality in other words he cuddles more and doesn't jump as much.

The same can be said for Drap when he's not around Oso for a period of time he isn't as paranoid and he rubs his entire body on me as if he were a cat. Sept. 23.
