During the hectic call off of my engagement last month, I lost the phone number of the breeder that blessed me with Codex and Bonkers. So, I was walking around in my grocery store, and I saw her! She gladly gave me the number. Bonkers was then 6 months old.
We scheduled a playdate for the breeder (let's call her Sarah). Sarah would bring over Bonker's mom and unadopted sister, and Codex's sister and 9 week old nieces.
It was a big event. Not seeing her mom for nearly 3 and a half years, Codex was a bit confused when seeing her mom Bridgette, but she recognized her sister. She took instantly to her mother, nieces and sister.
Bonkers, however, went completely... well... bonkers!:lol-sign: He played with his sister the whole time. I guess over the months I didn't notice how rough Bonkers could get, and he ended up pinning Penny, his sister, to the ground. She yelped in pain, and before Sarah or me could do anything, momma stepped in!
Bonker's mom Te-Te lifted Bonkers up by the scruff, and (miraculously) managed to carry her son to a corner, and barked at him so much he didn't move 20 minutes after Te-Te left. Bonkers and Penny got along great, but I was realy amazed with Codex.
She bonded with nearly everyone, and that day I even managed to joke about my engagement, which had been called off because...
A) my fiance was mad for my dog pulling my ring off during play and swallowing it (surgically removed)
B) When Codex started growling and sitting on my foot one time when he showed up on my door, I told him an excuse and said I was busy. He says I'm a retard for trusting my dog more than him after he figured out it was an excuse.
Something about my dogs just amazes me. Their memory of their family and their incredible sense of danger! Codex and Bonkers are my two best friends and I trust their word - bark - more than my laywer's.
