Isn't it amazing to see Loki out with the gang again. I did the same as yesterday, giving the others a bit of time to get rid of excess energy before bringing him into the equation. A lot is the same between them, but there are changes. In his excitement, Loki grabbed Ziva and Sammi, there was no response other than play from the girls, but when he did it to Ross there seemed to be an instant change in the dynamics. Ross spat out his dummy (literary) and his tail and hackles raised, Loki responded in the same manner and both males stood growling face to face. One "oi" shout from me and it immediately calmed down, but Ross is no longer happy to be the underdog! He has youth and obviously fitness on his side, though Loki is good, very good, one shove from another dog and he'd be over. Luckily Ross is not confrontational, and as if often the case with males they were happy to forgive and forget!
