Cry Terrible Morning

My hubby and sons are off on a road trip, so this morning it was just me, Bailey and Tia. Made some coffee and got the girls their breakfast. I went downstairs to get some laundry and hear this blood cuddling screams from upstairs. I ran up to see Bailey on top of Tia attacking her . I pulled Bailey off and put her in her pen and picked up Tia. She cried for a few minutes and when I did a body check, she would cry out everytime I touched her head. Besides this, there was no blood, signs of cuts so I watched her for the next hour, got some nutrical into her. Of course it would be the day I'm alone and had a meeting I couldn't miss. I ensured the dogs were separated while I left and and hurried the meeting as best as I could. Tia was happy to see me, she had something to eat and drink and went back to sleep. When I penned Bailey up, she knew she had done something wrong. Shes come to sniff at Tia a couple of times and growled once (which got her time out again in the pen.) I'm really shaken up right now. We decided to get a 2nd dog of companionship for Bailey, now I'm afraid to ever leave them alone. And right now, I'm really mad at Bailey!!!! She has never been aggressive like this with another dog. What do I do now! I won't leave the 2 of them alone together, but will Tia ever want to be around Bailey again? She is such a tiny and timid dog, this is the last thing that should have happened to her!!! I hope that this hasn't turned her into a fearful pup!

I had two dogs growing up. They were brother and sister. About once a year for the first 7-10 years they would get into a knock down drag out. I mean blood and puncture wounds. Granted they were big dogs, but the vet said this was common. Our dogs never fought when we weren't around. I think it may have been a jealousy issue. It was hard to seperate them at first, but after we did, you could tell they were sorry and they always licked eachothers wounds. I would talk to your vet. I am sure Bailey is just a little jealous considering she use to have you all to herself. Good luck. I am sure that they will adjust.

Simon and Hallie have done this as well. Usually it is over a toy or one of them being cranky. It was really bad when I first introduced Hallie into my home and now they still have their occasional fights but not nearly as bad as they used to. I had a trainer once tell me to NOT interfere and I about passed out. What I started to do when they would fight is make a loud noise and it would starlte them and they would quit.

I hope your babies are ok I know how horrible it is.

Default Terrible Morning

I have a chihuahua who does not like my newest addition. I can't leave them alone together. I put my puppy in her playpen when I leave and leave my chihuahua out loose. Honestly, I don't think my two will ever get along. My older one is pretty headstrong. In fact, when people come over I crate her because she just is not friendly and really doesn't like children(she loves me but really no one else). That's one reason why I wanted a yorkie, they're much more people friendly. I couldn't take my chihuahua to the park because kids would want to pet her since she's small and I was always afraid she'd bite them.

I just purchased my 2nd yorkie for the same reason. I wanted Baby to have companionship. I did alot of research before buying the puppy and honestly I was still unsure about the whole thing. I was told to pay more attention to the 1st dog. Treat her extra special and give her lots of attention and praise. If not she would resent the puppy, become jealous and agressive with it. I have to say things have gone pretty good. There have been times when Baby will discipline Juicy. She has even growled and bit down on the back of Juicy's neck. Juicy will just stop what she is doing ( She's usually jumping on Babys face nipping) and stay put til Baby lets her go. Baby is not puncturing her just mouthing. They seem to like one another. I find them kissing and sharing chewy sticks together.

Treat Bailey with more love and attention . It really does work. We are both going through transition periods. Bailey and Baby are having to adjust and we need to reassure them with lots of love and attention. Good Luck!!!!

Bailey is showing Tia who the top dog is. I would be cautious and not leave them unsupervised until Tia is bigger and able to handle herself.

Dreama was 4 when she came to us in February. Wosie was 8 months, (had been with us since August) and a pound smaller than Dreama. Yet Wose was the aggressor, and determined that Dreama know her place was second banana. Dreama would just as soon leave the Wose alone all of the time, and has learned that Wosie can't jump up on the beds and the furniture like she can, and now has an escape route on constant demand! I don't think they will ever be best buddies like my Angel and my Jasper were, but they are tentative friends. You watch! Someday Tia and Bailey will be sleeping together, playing with the same toys, and able to get along MOST of the time. It just takes time!

Good luck!

Update... Tia seems to be fine. Can touch her all over and there is no crying. Bailey and I have made up... boy I didn't think I could be that mad at her. But thank you all for your posts about how normal this behavior is. It helps alot. Jaspermom, I have attached a picture I took a few nights ago. This is why today shocked me sooo much!

LOOK at those sweeties...

When I first brought Chanel home they had a few tiffs - no actually biting but a few screams.... and it sure sounds awful...I did pay a ton of attention to Chanel so she wouldn't feel replaced or threatened - like, if I kissed the puppy Cheri, l'd kiss Chanel 3 times more....it really works.

I would always hold them together on either side of my lap and let them spend time there together too - eventually each learned to cope with the other being in close proximity... and who gets the best seat - (my lap).

We still have little Toy Tiffs..... even now, if they have a toy fight - they KISS each other almost before it even starts....So I think there's hope for you.... but if blood was drawn you do need to take measures that this doesn't happen again and expecially if you're not there.

OMGoodness! LOL When you enlarge that picture little Tia looks so evil! LOL That is a sweet/terrible picture of the pair. LOL

I hope things smooth out for you. It can be hard to bring a new baby into the house. It's like the baby will suddenly say or do something that is extremely angering to the established dog and then the scariest things can happen. Sylvia

Ah, no, I don't think she looks like a werewolf. The shine in her eyes makes it look like she's looking at her sister. Aren't pictures odd sometimes? Sylvia

I think they're probably just going to have an occasional scruffle - and would keep an eye on them and not worry too much about it.

I always get in trouble for this - but when I brought my new tiny little Bichon pup home, even before we got in the door, my other older sweet female somehow got hold of the little puppy and threw her 5 or 6 feet out onto the grass. And, the little puppy was turning in circles and crying, and I was frightened to death that she was seriously hurt.

Well - this is the only time in her life that my dog got a spanking. Everything happened so fast - and I was so frightened - and just couldn't let her be that way with the tiny new little puppy. I spanked her and was very very stern with her. I was totally shocked that she behaved that way. I would never have expected it in a million years. This was one bad episode for all three of us. Poor little Dutchess had never heard a cross word in her life, and other than this, never did again.

The end result was that at first she didn't like the new little pup - but never ever hurt it again. And - in only a few weeks, they became fast friends, and stayed that way for years.

I have introduced many new pets into my household (cats and dogs) and they have all become good lifelong friends after a few weeks. But, for the first few weeks, I keep a careful eye on all of them. However, they always seem to work everything out on their own.

Good luck - Carol Jean
