My heart goes out to you. Losing a family pet is always heartbreaking. {{{{Hugs}}}}
I can tell you from experience that terriers in general have the ability to be very agressive. We had a female Jack Russell and a female Mini Snauzer; both terriers and they got along great until one day for no apparent reason they changed and began to fight terribly, we knew it was only a matter of time before one of them died, so we re-homed our Mini Snauzer. Our female JRT was fine after that.
I would recomend either making Lolly the only dog or consider re-homing her. I would not have her put down, she is a terrier and doing what terriers do naturaly, being territorial. I would not however give her another opportunity to be territorial with another dog or child.
My prayers are with you and I hope that you are able to find a solution that is good for your family and Lolly. |
