My Chichi and Poochi

Chichi and Poochi

Sometime ago I mentioned, Chichi was limping because of accident or something...maybe she injured herself, or somebody hit her with a stone, or some vehicle hit her. What I am glad to inform is, my Chichi is perfectly alright now, thanks to Sai Baba's grace. The one sitting to the left is Chichi, and the one standing to the right is Poochi. Poochi is extremely loving, and expects a full load of love in return. Yes, she gets jealous of Chichi too. Of late, that is what I observed. I guess this jealousy is because Chichi got more attention from me and a few others because of her injury. Chichi being short and smaller in size, automatically gets more attention. But Poochi is now in sulk mode...goes to a corner after we feed her...she is feeling neglected. I do like her but attention was due to Chichi. How do I reconcile the situation? Poochi has also been scaring Chichi...so Chichi tends to steer clear of her. No more friendly play... I could do with guidance...both are such darlings.

They both look so cute ! Do they stay close to your home? Are you getting them treated at a Veterinary? Jealousy and Greed is there among dogs as well.

@vandana7 They now have you as their "Unofficial" Care Incharge so they won't let the Beagle nearby !

Yeah...actually, there is a commercial complex near our place, these idiots stay in its basement. I pay the watchman (lady watchman) some money to cook food on daily basis for these brats. So when I can't make it, these two are not starving. They don't look starved, do they? But I am concerned about Poochi...she is feeling left out...she is a gorgeous girl. she stands up straight and licks my face when I am missing for two or three days..LOL Yes...both are vaccinated and spayed stupid girls. I love them. I have a problem. I love all my stray dogs...but I have dared to touch and pet only three of them. There is a beagle cross with floppy ears who comes sometimes....my two dogs won't allow that one anywhere near. But I would love to feed it too.

I've never really had this problem. All of the animals that I've had or been around get along. Even my cats.

They used to be very friendly just a couple of months ago. Poochi used to indulge Chichi. Then one day, it really attacked Chichi, took away her food, Chichi ran away rather limped away, and stared at Poochi eating away what was served for her.

@JordanLader I witnessed that, and dared not interfere, because she might attack me too. Stray dogs are exactly that. So, she was left alone enjoying what she had taken from the younger one. That day, I really felt sorry for Chichi...watching her meal being eaten by this larger dog...she actually threw Chichi on floor, fell with her entire weight on her...as it is the younger one was injured. With some snarls and show of teeth, she scared her, and the younger one climbed the stairs, watched this one eat her food. It was a rather unexpected behavior from Poochi. Normally, she is extremely friendly. Today, when I fed her, she ate, and went and sat in a corner.

They'll either reconcile on their own or won't... I never really paid much attention to the moods of dogs so I'm not the best person to ask.

I guess the street dogs are always competing for food and attention so there's not much room for friendship.

@JudyEv I normally feed them outside a pharmacy...yesterday, she wouldn't let the younger one drink water that is arranged for all stray animals there. She sat guarding it, I gave her some ice cream, but she wouldn't budge as long as the younger one was around. Today, they were all friends again, after I had spent almost half an hour of undivided attention to her.. the younger one came between us twice, but reconciled I think to the fact that everybody deserves attention.

Sometimes an animal will pick on another animal that is injured. Your dogs are very cute.

Thanks Linda...I know they are gorgeous creatures.......even if plainly stupid idiots. LOL Hugging them, and playing with them is such a stress buster of my life....I love every bit of their crazy pranks... They aren't mine...they are stray dogs that I feed. They are vaccinated...that is all...:)

They are beautiful. Not much you can do except feed them separately. They need to work it out.

Isn't it hard to believe they are stray dogs? We have such beauties ..luckily in our city, people are more tolerant towards these creatures.

They reconciled today. My action...I pampered Poochi more today, and all is well. Poochi gets attention, she becomes magnanimous. LOL Here is Chichi's latest picture...it is very difficult not to like her...when she looks like that.
