My dog Cardi has not liked Sayle from day one. My husband and I weren’t shocked that she didn’t fall in love with the new addition to the family the way that Foster did , but we were surprised by her behavior. She pouted for the first couple of days, even resorting to gnawing the leg of a rocking chair on our back porch-and she has never chewed anything in her life! She usually wanted to be right up next to me or in my lap, typical behavior for her pre-Sayle, but she sat by herself and became withdrawn from the family.

As I started …
I have blogged about Sayle’s furry BFF before, but if you don’t remember, our miniature pinscher Foster is truly Sayle’s buddy.
When we brought Sayle home from the hospital, Foster turned into Baby Guard Dog and that still holds true a year later. Foster brings Sayle his ball and Sayle throws it for him. They play tug of war, and the game gets pretty intense until Foster pulls Sayle over. Foster allows Sayle to pull up on him and yank his fur, ears, and legs and Foster tolerates Sayle’s “petting” which is really slapping with love. Also, Foster serves as my ears in the early morning when I don’t respond to Sayle’s cries fast enough. If Sayle starts to fuss …
This video is a prime example as to why we live on Baby Alcatraz. Sayle has been keeping a close eye on the doggie door. He documented the times the doggie door is usually open for business and exactly how the dogs use it. When the opportunity presented itself, Sayle tried to make a quick break for the land of freedom, aka-the back deck. Unfortunately, the Warden was sitting close by (with a video camera) and the dogs were on the other side telling him that door was the only thing in the house that wasn’t his. Obviously, Sayle is taking everything in and figuring things out!
I thought I had a few years before I had to worry about him …
Ever since we brought Sayle home from the hospital, our Miniature Pinscher named Foster has been his best friend. Foster loves to “play ball” and will literally play all day long if he has a captive audience. Fortunately for Foster, he has found this audience in Sayle who is absolutely mesmerized by him.
Here is just one of a million videos we have of them together, this time my husband got in on the fun.
