| You've been sent to bed, Porter. |
The time had come to
discuss the pup’s place in the pack.
There was no avoiding the intrusion this Benjamin had created in a once-serene
den. Toys once available to Porter and
Scrumpy were now “No, put that down!” and then “Go to bed!” where the gate
would be closed and they would look through the bars at the crawling Benjamin.
 |
| See this? It's mine, you can't have it! |
Yes, it was time.
Porter was the
dominant canine of the two and it was decided that he would handle
negotiations.
The Alpha female presented
the time and place. With anticipation, Porter climbed into the box.
 |
| Leave us alone for minute, will you? The kid and me have somethin' to discuss. |
Ideas were shared,
thoughts exchanged, and a mutual appreciation of the other rapidly
developed. However, despite clearly
expressed questions, the answer was simple.
 |
| You may think you know who is in charge...but, it's me! I'm calling the shots in this pack... |
Benjamin was
staying. In fact, Benjamin would
eventually surpass his pack mates, and join the Alphas.
Live with it, Porter, had been the parting sentiment.
