This is a lot of what we had heard, except for the 'more drool with bm' OMG MORE? Badger is a huge drama queen and quite stubborn, so he pushes and pushes and then when he is told to go to his bed, he harumps, grumbles and whimpers all the way there.
The barking thing is a little bit of a suprise to me. Badger never barks, and we read that most BM don't hardly ever bark either, but I'm thinking that could just be a huge personality thing...
We were told that female dogs (in general) are more 'territorial' than male dogs, and therefore more protective. Badger is anti-protection. Someone could home invade us and the worst he would do is lick them from his hiding spot behind the couch. We are hoping he gets a little bit of the protection thing from her. I'm imagining him teaching her all of his tricks and me then having two farting, grumping, kiss you only when THEY want to, velcro dogs instead of one!
Thanks for your input! There will def be tons of pics!
