Build the good boy an elevated bed so he can guard Clare comfortably.

It's amazing what dogs do for babies. They will turn against their own owner's to protect babies.

I was a dog groomer for over 15 years and one thing I notice is the extremely packed in undercoat on his rear end. When my cat got older her back legs matted up pretty badly. She would take swipes at me if I tried to touch the area, otherwise showed no signs of pain. I eventually just put a surgical blade on my clippers and quickly zipped through all those areas (brushing was out b/c she was too sensitive, and I needed to move super quick because she would only put up with being restrained for a couple seconds, and a surgical blade is the safest in terms of not giving them a bad cut if they move). She looked ridiculous, but she stopped taking swipes at me, and the hair grew back and never matted again. I don't mean to make you feel bad or anything, but anything you can do to get rid of that undercoat will probably make him feel a lot better.
