Come down to Cornwall and meet young master Reuben. He will makes sure your ears are clean with GREAT enthusiasm.Ahhh, darling Hugo! Our puppies have both grown out of earlobe nibbling 🥹
I have wondered that too!. I wonder If Maja had problems with the black Labrador she grew up with, maybe it bossed her about and she has held a grudge ever since?
Very cute, but she nevertheless has that wicked glint in her eye!

Waiting to pounce!
I love Labs for that trait.Yes, I hope so too! Funny thing is that when we went to pick her up from her 2 hours in the shop, she and Carbón greeted each other like best friends: tail wags and kisses all around! You would think Carbón couldn’t stand her by now, but he appears to be infinitely forgiving.
I can very much sympathize with the cat thing - I’m afraid to touch any cat, for any reason, based on similar experiences!She looks like the many cats I’ve known who invitingly bare their tummies at you and then scratch your face off if you dare try to touch it.
That’s a lovely photo of her, little baby. What a trying 48 hours you’ve had, that sounds hard - but also interesting, huh? My basic (obvious?) reading of that might be that her tiny stress bucket filled up over the big and stimulating day and had trouble draining away, even over several hours and - as you say - all the basics taken care of. Your chill out plans sound perfect, hopefully she’ll be feeling much more relaxed after some completely boring familiarity. And everyone can relax a bit - fingers crossedMaja had a very big and stimulating day yesterday and got exponentially worse with Carbón. This was interesting to me, because I would have thought that it would have tried her out and mellowed her out (“A tired dog is a good dog”) but instead it was more like dealing with a toddler significantly past their bedtime.
This was true even this morning after a good night’s sleep, breakfast, a walk, and a wee and a poo. In theory she should have had every endorphin working for her, but she has been an absolute terror. The expression ‘bouncing off the walls” is an accurate visual.
So I’ve taken her to her own apartment and am spending some quiet time with her here. Of course that means Carbón also gets some quiet time back at our apartment. Hopefully she will be a little more even-keeled by the time we go back to my place.

Oh Maja! You are a good friend, Emily. But the apartment time out is reassuring as you say - don’t hold back on getting some respite!This morning Maja decided it would be much easier to have a wee indoors, which at least was easier to fix than her chewing on a computer cable yesterday (my bad for leaving it in reach to be fair).
She is calmer today though. She seems to do better when she has a couple hours of quiet time at her own place, so I’m going to stop feeling guilty for leaving her there while I do my shopping or to give Carbón some one on one walk time.
