My little grand dog is visiting

[Marthe48]

for a few days. She was scared of the noise the contractors' are making at her house. I have a few toys for her here. She is a little dog and loves playing tug of war. I don't know how dogs do it. They clamp down, and dig in, shake their heads, and they NEVER WEAR OUT!

1. Hah, yeah it is like playing tug-of-war with an alligator...

We, mere mortals, aren't up to it (especially with a bad shoulder) so they go in for the "sure win."

2. Be careful with tug-o-war. Some dogs are too stubborn and strong for their own good.

A tooth can be damaged by hard pulling or jerking. Watch out for a discolored, pink tooth, indicating the pulp is damaged.

3. I always let her win

and she never has to pull very hard. TY for the advice

6. I understand it completely.

I don't have any grandchildren and never will. My son and daughter in law have two adorable Yorkies. Daisy and Suki.
They are my grand puppies. They know who is visiting when I pull up to the house. They know when they are on my street! They know my voice over the phone. And they know the word Grandma.
Yep they are part of the family.

8. On fb I follow several humane societies

I picked the description 'grand dogs' up from there. There are 2 grand dogs. The older one is a Belgian Malinois, who thinks she is the same size as my little visitor, who is a Dorkie, or similar. The little one fits in my lap much better than the big one, but the big girl never minds trying. I've been the unoffical pet sitter for years.
