a rude awakening
 
She's challenged each and every one of them, except Sybil who is a natural alpha and won't give her or her rudeness the time of day. Really gets in their face in such a caninely rude way I'd like to bite her myself, but since I think it's more effective coming from another dog (plus I hate spitting out dog hair afterwards), I usually just encourage any of mine who look like they're thinking of taking her down a peg and Mace has finally taken me up on it a couple of times. It sounds loud and nasty, but it's all for show and the upshot is that Needle ends up on the ground and peace reigns for a little while afterwards. So, anyway, shortly before 2 am I am awakened by the sound of a dog fight right next to my bed. I don't know about you guys, but I don't awaken to immediate wide-awake mode. Instead I'm still semi-comotose and when a sharp "hey!" doesn't make the snarling stop and it's pitch dark so I don't even know who the offenders are - though I can guess - I do the only thing I can do and roll across the bed and fling myself onto the floor and into the fray. Now, in a conscious state I might have thought through this strategy and it might have dawned on me that human bodies flinging themselves blindly into a dog fight -- not generally sound strategy.  I just know it's 2 a.m., I'm supposed to be asleep and I don't appreciate being awakened by a bitch fight. Fortunately both bitches (I'm still guessing here) are so startled by hurling humans descending upon them that they immediately stop. When I turn the light on I get the "butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" stare from all of them.
"Not me. Nope! I had NOTHING to do with it! I'm the GOOD bitch." Sure, whatever - two she wolves broken into the bedroom to scuffle and then vanished into thin air just as the light came on. Whatever 
Is there a full moon or something? Kristine |

| No, its a new moon I think.
So all those innocents will have to come up with a better excuse. Tell them I'd suggest "the devil made me do it" or "it was those other dogs, the ones that just materialise and do the bad stuff and then dematerialise right before you get here" 
They should tailor their excuse to suit your philosophical persuasion, you know religious, ET's, ghosts,whatever is your thing, that way they maximise the chance of getting away with it. 
PS I am still figuring out whether you are brave or crazy  |
| Hahahaha Hurling Humans bwahaahha |
| Ron, now that you mention it "Hurling humans" could mean a number of things. Ranging from the politically incorrect to the gross. |

Neither. Well, some will argue for the latter But in this case, mainly just asleep. 
Besides, my own dogs wouldn't even dream about putting teeth on a human regardless of the situation. And Needlenose, whatever else her proclivities, isn't so inclined either. The tactic worked for the same reason tossing something loud near a dog can startle them out of a behavior. It's just, you know, generally one doesn't toss human bodies, but it was the only thing I had handy
If it was a true bitch fight it would have been a different matter. But it's mainly dominance displays for maximum effect - loud and harmless. Lucky for foster dogs my own dogs won't seriously fight. Of course, they're all fast asleep again whilst I'm wide awake.

Rastus and Tiggy are doing the noisy "who will be boss" thing at the moment. Fortunately for us, not in the middle of the night, well not so far. 
I envy them their ability to just go right back to sleep, anywhere, anytime. |

Sometimes I wonder about you!! so do you think Sybil finally stepped up? |
| I just love your storytelling abilities. I agree, I especially like the huling human. |
| Thanks for the laugh on a bleary Wednesday morning.....
BTW..... Where is the video???????? ( I would pay to see 'Kristine, the hurling human!!!!) |

| Love your stories. |
| Another handy reason to have a bed on the floor.
So much safer when hurling oneself into dog fights....  |
| Fabulous story...and so well told.
I can totally relate to the "not thinking it through in the middle of the night part." Had one of those happen the other night. Didn't work out well for ANY of us. Tee hee. Thanks for sharing. |
| Sounds like you hurled yourself into a Sheepie Mosh Pit!! |
| Kristen, I'm so glad you didn't hurt yourself! Not from the dogs, but hitting the floor! |

Naw, like Dawn noted, it's not far to the ground from my bed. No real danger

| Moshing or slamming refers to the activity in which audience members at live music performances aggressively push or slam into each other. Moshing is frequently accompanied by stage diving, crowd surfing, mic swinging, smashing instruments, and headbanging. It is commonly associated with concerts by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and alternative rock and rock artists in general. |
| well I assumed if I knew - everyone knew.

Well, throw in the occasional bitch fight, which from the sound of it sounds like it isn't out of the questions, and that does indeed sound aptly decriptive
Thanks, ladies! (though now I'm going to have to question that "ladies" designation I guess )
