| OMG!!!!! Roscoe attacked my baby!! I let the dogs out to potty and went inside for a couple minutes. (we have a fenced yard) I heard Bentley whining outside the door and assumed he was just ready to come in so I let him in. Well, my neighbor just informed me that Roscoe attacked him and had him by his back slinging him around!! Not in a play way either! I am so upset! Roscoe has shown no aggression towards him and seems to love playing with him. He has snapped at him once over his food, but I told him no and then Bentley was eating out of his bowl. I just feel horrible for letting this happen to him already! I just did not dream of him doing that.

| It happened to me, too... My 9 mth old female (6.5 pds) attacked my new (2.2) pound, three mth old male twice in his first two weeks here. They were fighting over food and toys. The second time, she drew blood and still had him in her mouth when I picked her up. I scolded her, and watched them carefully over the next couple of weeks, but they are now best buddies, share food and toys, and can't stand to be apart. My keyboard is really messed up and it's taking FOREVER to type this, but I wanted you to know that your two will most likely be just fine. It scared me to death thinking that mine would never be friends, but you should see them now! |

| I hope he's ok! One of my cats doesn't like Sophie at all. He swats at her HARD and actually chases HER instead of her chasing him. I have to constantly watch them because she's still so small. He weighs 12 lbs and if he ever got ahold of her I know he'd hurt her. So I know what it feels like to have to constantly watch my furbabies! |

| He seems to be ok. He was a little nervous for a little while, but now seems fine. I am definitely going to have a constant eye on them now. I just feel horrible and like I don't deserve him if I can't keep stuff like that from happening.

| Please don't think that you do not deserve him for an instant!!! This was an important lesson you have learned , and it is NOT going to happen again. Give yourself a break, dear. These guys are fast . I have a 18month old female and a 3 1/2 month old pup . My yorkie plays rough with my baby, and she scares me too. My pup is a Shih tzu, a fluff ball. But so much smaller then Suzi. Suzi growls when playing with her and the pup rolls on her back too. But just as I am going to stop the rough play, the pup goes for Suzi. I know the pup is going to grow to be bigger then Suzi soon , naturally. Right now, she just is not, so I have to be careful too.

| I am sorry that happened to Bentley and really glad he's ok. Of course Roscoe needs to be watched around Bentley now, which l know you will be doing constantly. Don't beat yourself up about it. The future monitoring and them learning one another with your supervision should curtail any other incidents.

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | I also know the fright of my larger dog hurting my baby. The larger dog got a time out each time she even growled at the baby and believe me I kept a close on on where both the dogs were at all times.
