A Nightly Ritual

The pack is such a funny thing. This evening I had to laugh watching Dahlia, Ajax (my 6 year old male dane), and Sadie fight for the boxer's attention. Every night Brutus the boxer grooms Ajax's ears and crusty eyes (summer allergies). The girls try to shove their heads between the boxer and Ajax. This causes Brutus to change customers as he grooms each ear in turn. This struggle goes on and on until Ajax finally growls and paws the girls away. Brutus will groom Ajax forever. He loves it. It must be so soothing to both of them.
