Ever since I got Rascal, about 2 years ago, it's been an ongoing struggle to have Rascal (a neurotic, easily frightened, reactive dog) makes friends with my BF (a sweet but *very* "not an animal person" guy).
After a ton of patience and hard work things are going great, but now... Rascal tends to whine like crazy when he can't get to BF! When I wake up before BF and let Rascal out of his sleeping crate, all he does is sit by the bedroom door and whine until BF wakes up and comes out, at which point Rascal barks like crazy, grabs the nearest squeaky toy, and runs in jubilant circles.
Sigh... I'm glad they're friends, but can't they do it... silently?
