We are currently taking wagers (in the form of a radio poll) on which one of the pups will wind up becoming the ultimate alpha dog of the household. I already have my opinion on this matter, but will reserve such for a later date and time, as I am curious to hear from others who have met and maybe some who haven't met Mr. Mojo and Princess Pandora.
First, here is a little history on the whole premise of alpha dogs. In biology the term used for the highest rank in an individual animal community is alpha. In dogs, or more specifically their ancestors, wolves, alpha status is part of the social interaction of the group dictating which of the pack gets to eat first. A natural instinct in all canines, even our lovely domesticated varieties, is to try to claim this status through showing physically superiority through play-fighting (which sometimes turns to true fighting).
I will hope through this blog to keep somewhat of a scorecard about who is winning this status among the two pups by talking about some of their daily hysterical antics.
Anyway, I hope you will take a guess from reading thus far what I have written about these guys to take an educated guess who will win out in the end.
in the meantime I will also post a source of entertainment about this term through a band my teenage daughter follows... Fall Out Boy...and their version of "Alpha Dog"
anyway, enjoy, I guess (oh and vote to the left):
