Default Lucy Update

Well, I did take Lucy to the vet and he put her on an antibiotic - just in case.

She has two pretty big scratches that didn't appear infected but he mentioned they always worry about bites due to the bacteria in the mouth.

He is also a trainer and thinks that maybe it wasn't so much as Ringo was jealous but that he smelled all those other dogs on her and it was kind of 'misplaced aggression'. He suggested that I get some dog cologne and spray it on them both for a few days to get used it; then spray it on Lucy IF we go back to the dog park. That, and distract him with a treat the minute we walk in the door AND take him someplace on HIS own right afterward.

When we got home from the Vet; Ringo sniffed all over her but I gave them both a french fry (my bad) and that was that.

Keep ya posted! Thanks for everyones advice.

Anyway, I'm glad I took her.
