What a week!!!

So a lot has happened with my dogs since my last post! After the first fight between Jane and Tuck, Travis came home and I was giving him the details. Then all of the sudden, they started going at it again! Only this time, Tuck rolled over on his back and was crying while Jane was tearing at his leg! It took all of Travis's strength to get them apart. We had to take Tuck to the Emergency Vet because he had a huge gash in back his leg plus several other bites that they shaved and cleaned. The Vet put 4 staples in the big cut and gave him a huge bottle of antibiotics and pain pills.

So that happened on Saturday night. Since then, we've been keeping Jane and Tuck in separate rooms. Tonight, I took Jane for a quick walk. Since the room that Tuck was in was kinda warm, I cracked the window a little. When I got back from my walk with Jane the neighbor boys ran up to me to tell me my other dog was running around the neighborhood!! Tuck had ripped his cone off, pushed the window open and jumped out! Luckily, he was just as scared as I was and as soon as he saw me, he came running towards me. His eyes were all red and he was panting like crazy for an hour. I think he's just really traumatized from the whole fight or something. So I've got him calmed down with his cone back on. Parenthood is going to be a piece of cake after this!

Did your vet give any advice? Seriously, you should ask the Dog Whisperer guy...he is good and I have not seen one where he talks about sybling rivalry. Good luck...it makes me so sad.
