Well, it seems there is no help for it. I have mulled this over in my mind, and can't see any way around it. I am re-homing Roxy today for this very reason. She was a rescue, and Cricket's younger sister. I got her when she was a year old. She and Cricket got used to each other, and were fine for a while, but when Zaccheus came along, Roxy helped me foster him. Since then, she has been vying for alpha female position, which Cricket has no intention of giving up. I have pulled them apart one too many times. Yesterday Roxy accidentally bit me.
She is a sweet, loving dog, who would not harm anyone purposely, but she cannot stay. I can't do like some of you and keep them separated, and I can't chance one of my kids being bitten.
I have a very good family friend whose dog died last year, and she is so excited to be giving Roxy a good home. Actually, she needs Roxy as much a Roxy needs to be the number one dog, so it is a perfect match.
