Good morning vet..........
First dog taken in and stapled back together.........lots of leg tears. Meanwhile gentleman washes up and receives badages from staff. Second dog is deemed "waitable" until patients with appointments (us) can be seen. As we were leaving I saw the second dog.... I didn't see blood so assume mainly puncture wounds. Anyway, when was our turn the vet asks us "How's your morning?" "Was pretty dull until we came here." She just shuddered. |

Yikes!  Hmm...since the guy had muzzles on hand for both dogs, I wonder if this wasn't a totally new experience for him  . |

| Yeah, I tried talking to him, he was still pretty shaken. The two dogs must be kept separate at all times and the lab snuck by him today. Can't imagine living with two dogs, literally at each others throat. I remember a lady telling me she had to keep her standard schnazzzes separate at all times. Both were show dogs which made it difficult, one to one show, one to another.....like we have a lot of shows here......not. Pyr friend has permanent hand damage trying to break up fight between two warring Great Pyrenees. They had to be kept out of sight of each other. I think one has died now and the other probably has bone cancer. She had 6 dogs at one time so it must have been a zoo trying to keep everyone in the correct yard. Go kiss your pups if they don't give you trouble like this. I thank mine every day. |
| What a morning at your vet! I just kissed mine and said good babies for being such good dogs. Robin |
| WOW. I sure hope everybody is OK. What a horrible thing to go through. Frankly, I would not keep two dogs living together that were like that. That's a miserable life for both of them, and the owner/family too. It would be my goal to find a way they could live without that as a constant factor in everybody's lives. If one (or both) had to be re-homed, then that's what I would do. What a tough situation. |
| My brother-in-law and his wife had 4 Huskies (2 male, 2 female) that had terrible aggression issues with each other. They wound up putting locking doors in every open doorway in the house to keep them separated (bye-bye open floorplan!), had to take them out to potty in shifts (except for the one who used the basement exclusively) - I swear, moving from one room to the next was like going through an airlock! The largest male weighed nearly 200 pounds and was completely uncontrollable, and the smallest female got left in her crate 14-16 hours a day to "keep her safe." And not a single one of these dogs had an ounce of obedience training or any decent socialization. As for suggesting a behaviorist to help them? "They're useless and ignorant and don't know anything about this breed!" Sheesh! Nothing, absolutely nothing, would convince either of them that the whole situation was incredibly unhealthy and dangerous for dogs and humans alike. They "loved them too much" and just "knew" that no one else could give their babies the care they deserved.  Here's hoping the gentleman you met can set aside his blinders and find a better living arrangement with (or for) his dogs. |
| Tripper is the boss here but Butchy just gets out of his way. There has never been any aggression just Tripper letting him know how things were going to be and his way was the only way. |
| How anyone can live with warring dogs is beyond me. Not only is it unhealthy for the dogs it seems to be unhealthy for the guy who brought them in. Time to go give my boys a big smooch. |
