Buster has been chasing around our labador and cat all week - with no problems -- all has gone wonderful.

Is this little outburst anything to worry about??? or was he just scared? I really want to bring this little guy up well - and be well adjusted. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
I have to kind of laugh. The image of the little guy saying that he's had enough at such a young age is too cute. I do understand your concern and at this young of an age I wouldn't get too worried about it. Maybe just pick him up and remove him from the situation. One of the previous posters said something about it probably startled Buster and I have to agree. It's something I've learned to watch for with my Roxie because she thinks she's way bigger then she is. If a bigger dog tries to take something away from her or does something threatening she tends to want to go at them in self defense. I just pick her up out of the danger she's creating for herself and all is usually fine and forgotten. Someone else may have another suggestion or advice that you like better. That's just what I do when it seldom happens. Also welcome to YT and congrats on your new little one. I'm so glad you were able to give this little guy a home with lots of love in a time of need. Sorry about your shakey start here. As in any public forum there will always be that one person that opens mouth and inserts foot.
