Poor Poor Big Bean!

The Little Bean is torturing the Big Bean on a whole new level. I think she is just obsessed with her big sister, but of course, the puppy runs away from her and tries to hide every time she comes near. The Little Bean has gotten so bad that I put together a barrier around one end of the living room so the Big Bean could have a safe place to escape to. Everything was going well until the Little Bean realized that her sister had a rawhide bone. I am not sure why, but Little Bean thinks rawhide bones are the coolest, and I am constantly finding her stealing them from the poor dog.

After seeing her sister chewing peacefully on her bone, the Little Bean crawled, climbed, pushed, wiggled, and scooted her way through the barrier get to her sister. It was crazy. I have started to tell the Little Bean, "no," and this is rewarded with sad pitiful faces, and big crocodile tears. I have also tried to take advantage of her short attention span and distract her with toys and other things, but she is completely fixated on the Big Bean.

Hopefully as she gets older, she will learn how to pet the Big Bean nicely and not torture her as she does now. If not, we will have to figure out a way to keep her from aggravating the Big Bean, without isolating the poor dog.

The photos above are the before and after bath pictures that I promised. I just can't believe how much she has already grown. Sorry that they aren't perfectly side by side, I can't seem to get the formatting right.
