| Is this playing or getting too aggressive??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I posted this as a reply to another post but I thought I was on a new thread, so I reposted it. Some of yu might read it on the other thread. Sorry. well I hate to tell this but here goes. Kizzy and Maggie have always played good together. But lately I've caught Kizzy being downright what seems mean to maggie. just pisses me off to no end because maggie is so much smaller. Kizzy has always been a loud growler when she is playing but lately after they play for a while kizzy starts sounding more aggressive with her. I've noticed several times kizzy will take toys from maggie then have it in her mouth and maggie will go get another toy then kizzy will take it from her and drop the other one and lay her body down over it so maggie cant get either toy. Maggie will keep trying to get one or the other and a couple times lately, i've caught kizzy just holding maggie down on the floor biting her all over. She didnt use to bite her hard enough to hurt her so I always figured it was playing. But yesterday then again tonight. I heard maggie yelping and went to see because they had been playing for a good while and kizzy was holding her down on the floor biting her till she yelped several times like it hurt and then maggie got up and ran over and sat down. And when she started back towards kizzy, Kizzy just growled real mean at her and she wouldnt go on over to her. I got so mad, twice lately, i've taken the toys away from kizzy and wouldnt let her have one and I would let maggie play with whatever she wanted for a good 10 minutes. Yet then maggie will quit playing with the toys and go lay down like she rather play with them with kizzy.. Is kizzy trying to hurt her and being aggressive or just playing. I think she is beginning to try to hurt her because sometimes their outside together and suddenly maggie runs toward the steps like to come up on the deck and Kizzy comes flying by her and jumps on the steps and stops in front of maggie and growls at her . as if to say, your not coming up here. and most time maggie will just go back to the ground from the bottom step. So i'm not quiet sure exactly whats going on with them. If kizzy is really mad mad at maggie or if she is just playing a little too aggressively. Because sometimes maggie keeps coming back biting at her and trying to gain some ground back, then kizzy seems to get really mad with the mean sounding growl. anyone have any idea whats going on? I've also let kizzy know I am HER boss, she isnt. as I will say dont run from me, just sit down girl in a mean tone and she will stop, and sit, and if she has something in her mouth, i'll say spit that out and she will. where she use to just keep running and running like in circles from me, or if i stopped she would stop and sometimes jsut as i would get to her she would take off again. now that part is much better as she does stop when I sound aggressive and just sit there for me and also spit out whatever she has in her mouth. So I'm mainly wonderin if she is playing too aggressive with maggie or actually trying to hurt her. She has never hurt her bad yet.Is it Kizzys way of telling her she is boss? I can tell its enough that maggie will not go around her for a while again. Sorry this is so long but I just get all wound up and angry at kizzy when she acts this way with maggie cause maggie loves her so much. Maggie wants to be whereever kizzy is and play with her. Yet they will lay down together and kizzy dont hurt her. just mainly when it comes to the toys.
