I wish it was play attack. Her brother is a Cane Corso

I have chinchillas, and both my yorkies show great interest in them. They are smaller than most bunnies, but I would never let them out of the cage with the dogs here. They like to tease each other. I have no doubts that if any of them ever got out, Chase (maybe even Calvin too) would hurt or kill them. They are terriers, and chinchillas are big fuzzy rats....

Yep. Actually I am more worried about the bunny attacking the puppy. Emmett has a powerful nip and used to bite my ankles all the time. He still does if he wants me to move out of the way. But I have taught him to inhibit his bite, at least on me. The bunny was not well socialized -- he was neglected in a hutch, underweight and covered with mattes when he was rescued, and I brought him home as a foster.

Emmett has gotten lots better during the past year, though.

I found out that Max, the yorkie pup, has been introduced to a cat and has gotten along okay with the cat. Max will be visiting the cat again soon. :-)

Yorkies are tough little dogs, even though they are not used for running after vermin in the tunnels, they still will go at it and give chase. Well, I can only speak for the little beast we have. She believes she is 100 pounds, and will go after anything. We have tried to reason with her, and socialize her....well, we are still working on it!

Sheesh! What do you do, Shodanusmc? Is the yellow bandage there because of what Maxine did to the Cane Corso (beautiful dogs btw).

I took Emmett to the Vet today for his quarterly grooming (he is a rescue rabbit with issues). I discovered that his regular groomer has several bunnies and two yorkies. That was good news. She said to just be patient with them.
