 Roger as you might have noticed I posted about this as an
observation. I ought to have mentioned I meant my dogs are protective
of their bone/toy toward each other. I have had to take a chew from
Cosmo when it gets too small so he wont swallow the hunk and throw
up.. I have had to take a toy from Abbie. No problem. They resist a
little bit but when I say Drop, they do.

Besides why would anyone want to disrupt a dog having a good time
unless the interruption were necessary. I recall doing so is how pit
bull pups are trained to be aggressive. By abusing them constantly.
