Every night around 8:00pm Bud and I get a treat. I gave him a chicken
stick and I took some crackers with a cup of tea.
I'll be honest and say I usually share with him but for some reason
I didn't this time. He ate his treat and came running down the hall jumping
on top of me laying along my left side on the recliner watching me eat
my snack. I finished, ignoring him. I was watching TV and looked down
at him and could tell immediately he was pissed! Within a split second I
pulled the down comforter up in front of me just as he lunged forward 
I could tell by the look in his eyes he was going to come at me.
He chomped down and got my hand, between the thumb and pointer on
the right hand. I was in shock for a second and then realized the awful
pain in my hand. I took care of my hand and put his butt in the kitchen
with the gate up. For the first time in 5yrs he slept alone and never
made a peep all night long. I know he knew what he did was so wrong.
My own dog bit me because I didn't share with him. That's plain nut's.
No one would belive it but it's true. He's not 4lbs either, he's 16lbs.
I have done extensive training with him over the years and he's so
good but now he has thrown me for yet another loop!
He's off my s*it list now but he so dissapointed me  |
I feel so bad that Buddy bit you. I think I know how you feel. As my Sydney has gotten older, (she'll be 13 this month), she has begun to growl at me.
And at her Daddy, whom she adores!
For example, sometimes, when I pick her up off the bed, to put her down on the floor in the morning, she will growl at me. She wants to get down and run and see Daddy, but for goodness sakes, I'm helping her to get there!
She also growls when I towel her dry after a bath, before I blow dry her.
She growls at her Daddy when he brings her in from outside and he needs to blot her paws dry.
And believe me, she gets severely reprimanded, which only makes her growl more.
She is always "sorry" later, She will come to me, with her ears down, and lean her head against my leg, and look up at me with pitiful eyes.
We suspect she "forgets" herself.
So you suppose, for a moment, Buddy just "forgot" himself?
