I hope Pippi is doing fine this morning. It must have scared you to death. I had a sheltie and a miniature aussie and they would go at it sometimes because of jealousy and most of the time when the doorbell rang. It was a frightening experience. There was a 25 lb weight difference (sheltie was bigger) and the aussie would always get pinned to the floor but let me tell you, the sheltie never hurt her and the aussie couldn't hurt the sheltie as she had a full coat.But after a 60 second separation, they greeted each other with wagging tails. Nevertheless, it was nerve wrecking. So I can only imagine what you went through. My son came to live with us and he had a jack russell and while the aussie (sheltie had died) and her got along fine, they did not play together. But I had given them both a bone, and one did not eaten theirs and my aussie had one between the paws. Now, I don't know who's bone it really was but the russell attacked my aussie and took hold of her ear and I just picked the russell up and then I saw blood. Oh my goodness!!! I freaked out and rushed her to the shower and hosed the area and I could not for the life of me find the spot she had been bitten. But I was scared stiff and shook like a leaf on a windy day. She was okay and no incidences after that; but the son only lived her for three months and my little aussie had passed during that time. But I do Hope you were able to get some sleep and all is well this morning. Keep us posted! |
