I am so bloody pissed at my dog right now. Stupid bloody animal!
Went up Dfil this eve,i have horses there so go up all the time to sort those. Normally my 3 doggys stay at home as younger dog gets stressed and panicky when travelling but hates staying home alone.
Tonight though... i decided as a one off to take all dogs up with me so they can let off some steam without being attatched to a lead. I live in middle of a well built up area,Dfil lives in countryside with open garden/fields. My dogs are restricted to lead walks at home and occasionally i have taken them with me before until young dog (d3) decided to get stressy in cars.
So as we were sorting horse food and hay our DD10 was playing with dogs.never jad a problem here. Middle dog (d2) is known for being temperamental but never with us and never ever with our 3kids.
As all 3 dogs were playing d2 has snapped at d3,no reason there at all. My DD has gone to pull d2 off d3 and without realising d3 has bit her right wrist and upper left arm. DH managed to seperate both dogs and with the realisation there was a load of blood my DD has gone into full blown panic/shock/hyperventilation thinking it was her. It wasnt. It was infact d2 ear as d3 had nipped it in retaliation.
DD has nasty bruising to her arms and significant bite marks although no actual cuts/open wounds.
Now obviousley the option for me here is have d2 pts. d3 has never acted this way and was playing happily until d2 went for her and carried on trying to play after all the commotion.
Would i be wrong to try and find d2 another more suitable home for d2? And what about d3? This is unlike d2 but i also have a 9mnth old baby who will be in the stages of wanting to play alot the second he can i am a very careful mum and dog owner and teach my kids that all dogs need their space and and dont allow my kids to get rough or heavy handed with our dogs thus making this situation unusual and i am sooo worried it could be him. Im also aware that it couldve been DD face,she was lucky but i cannot keep d2 with us in the hopes that it wont happen again. I dont want to risk it.
Im unsure of d3 reaction but just seemed like a typical reaction. d3 has been around baby alot and has shown no aggression at all whereas i was unsure with d2 as she cam be grumpy in the way of wanting to be left alone so ive always told kids to leave her be when playing and its always been fine till now.
Weve had all dogs from pups and are all well trained too.
d3 is 8
d2 is 6
d1 is 4
All are vaccinated/spayed etc and get walked twice a day sometimes three times.
I suppose advice would be good right now.
Pts or new home away from playful kids and other playful dogs.
Also.... d1 hates commotion and happily wandered off to leave a stinking pile of shit by the back door....
Sorry for long post..
