Dog's Cute Attempt to Steal Boxer's Bed Has People Cracking Up
Boxers are very intimidating dogs, especially if they don't know you. However, once they do get to know you, it's over. They're some of the goofiest, most loving dogs you'll ever know.
They're also incredibly stubborn. Once they get something in their hard, square heads, it's over. On Monday, July 8th, a dog who got dropped off for babysitting tried to split a Boxer's bed, and he wasn't giving an inch:
I think @lingirl70 is very lucky she doesn't have to live with both of these dogs every day. I just know they'd be arguing all the time!
The white dog in the video is named Kevin, and he's actually her son's dog. She had two Boxers herself, so she's definitely familiar with the fact that Boxers are stubborn as can be, especially when it comes to each other. Her pup is not budging from the bed, certainly not to leave enough room for Kevin. I wonder if this is what Jack felt like when Rose was hogging the door in Titanic.
In a follow-up video, Kevin was still trying to snuggle with the Boxer, to no avail. At some point, he definitely gave up. Hopefully his grandma jumped in and let him get some snuggles!
Do Dogs Share Beds?
There are so many sweet videos of dogs cuddled up together in a shared bed. Most dogs who live together will form some kind of a bond, and you'll often find them together when no one else is available, but cuddling in a dog bed can sometimes be too far.
Like humans, dogs love to have their own space, and a bed is kind of like their home base. It's messed up just how they like it, it smells exactly like they want it to, and another dog getting in would mess that up. When buying a dog bed, you should get each dog their own. Putting it in a crate may help! If your dog is getting territorial over their bed, you might notice:
- Barking
- Growling
- Bared teeth
- Snapping or biting
It's okay for dogs to want to have their own space, but you should also make sure they're being safe about it. If you start to notice aggressive behavior, try redirecting both dogs, and if that doesn't work, you may need to take the bed away.
Luckily for Kevin, this sweet Boxer didn't want to fight him; they just wanted to sleep peacefully. Hopefully he found a better spot to rest!
