Passive Aggressive Theatre

Funny stuff. So my cousin's Beagle has recently decided he doesn't want to share our attention with Bernie and has taken to attacking him. To the point where he has to be pinned down to get him under control. He also takes all his toys and tosses them around. Bernie, being a big giant chicken, immediately backs off and hides in the hallway or the corner, pretty much until Beasley leaves the house. What makes it hilarious is yesterday, after Beasley leaves, Bernie picks up one of the toys that Beasley had and starts playing this totally growling, aggressive game of tug-of-war. I mean, he gets pretty into tug-of-war no matter what. But this was so clearly a "Yeah, do something now Beasley! This is what I'd do to you if you came back right now!" The big chicken can talk shit when the competition is gone, but acts like a big wuss when he's in the room. And the fact that Bernie is 4x Beasley's weight makes it all the more hilarious.
