I have a funny Atlas story and wish I had a photo to go with it. my hand doesn't work well enough to take pictures anymore so can only post one's that my family takes for me. Atlas is with us this week and he barks at pretty much anything outside. I found one way to stop them from barking, especially at the neighbors across the street, is to tell him to get off the couch and lay down on the floor. He always comes over by me and lays down and pouts. Then after a while I let him get back up on the couch. Today when he barked at the mailman I told him to get down off the couch. He came and laid by me for a while and then went back into our bedroom and got on the bed and stayed back there. I think he was tired of getting scolded. I think he's pretty sensitive because he gets upset if I scold him. He still barks at stuff but I think he's getting a little better.
This morning he got up on the bed and slept with me after my wife went to work around 6:30 AM. He laid close enough that he was always in contact with me and slept with his head on my ankle. He usually doesn't do this.
While I was awake Macy jumped up for morning ear and chin scratching. She actually sat so her rear and was on the dogs rear end. He ignored her but she fretted about being that close to him. That didn't stop her from waiting until I got done scratching her. She especially loves her forhead scratched. It seems she will put up with anything while she's getting scratched.
