Cole also innocently growls at Onyx when Onyx decides to pur into Cole's face and lick him silly. Onyx is just this type of a velcro dog not only with me but with his house mates to include Cole.. Imagine two intact males, and one that want to french with the other.
It is a sight to behold. ONyx being only 7.5 mos. old is totally oblivious to what Cole feels and for that matter could care less, and strangely even if Onyx pushes himself on Cole and gives him a tongue shower which Cole hates, he never showed his teeth. Sometimes I wish he would to stop Onyx from giving him such a lucratice tongue shower, LOL..
They will settle it between themselves.. as long as there is no fighting and blood drawn than all is cool. Cole will always be a hand licker and taking it into his mouth. I dont believe I can ever curb this behavior.. but he does not bear pressure with his jaws so I am fine in a way with it.
