Thanks Robin! I did have to laugh at poor Marrok a little while ago. Bella has such boundless levels of energy and he's a much quieter breed for all he's so protective. They were playing hard and he was done, she however was still raring to go and bugging at him to keep playing with her. He came over to me where I was sitting on the couch and climbed on me, just his front legs, chest and head (he never climbs on people or jumps). He gave me this big sad look like "oh gawd please make her STOP".

I had to laugh and tell me I knew exactly how he felt. I eventually did put Bella outside so the poor big fella could get his nap. He's done in from her antics.
