One of theirs is a bit larger and older and when Jax walked up to the door wagging his tail the bigger dog attacked him. Locked his jaws into Jax’s neck and back. Didn’t realize there were puncture wounds until Thursday morning, and Friday it was clear one was infected so we took him to the ER vet and they had to cut it open to drain it. Last night he ate and then had a bowl of ice cream. Hell yeah he did. But he’s doped up now doesn’t even want snacks. I keep a supply of "fish" antibiotics on hand for just such occasions.
October 29, 20232 yr Popular Post Well the lady got the dogs Halloween costumes again this year. Luckily they don’t seem to hate them.

Speaking of, where does everyone take their dogs from the Austin area to play in water? I want to take our crocodales somewhere next year, preferably a beach, but Padre is a 6 hour drive.....

My dogs don't like water, which is nice, because there is nowhere near Austin where the water might not kill them. Good times.

It's been quite a while since I was there, but there used to be quite a few parks along the San Marcos river.
October 30, 20232 yr Dogs can always head to San Marcos. The river down by Martindale is nice. Dog friendly. We take ours to the river about twice a week when the weather permits.
October 30, 20232 yr Just a FYI: Don't ever introduce dogs to each other at either one's home turf. Always try at neutral ground on leash and see how it goes.

It’s pretty gruesome looking though 2 of the 3 holes in his side are the drain incisions. fyi - I was working had no idea about any of it. My post was more for folks whom aren't familiar with dog politics, and I understand it came off as condescending. Not my intent. Accidents will always happen. It breaks my heart to see an injured pup. Give Jax a pet for me 😀 Edited October 31, 20232 yr by MissingInAction
October 31, 20232 yr @troph I'm no saint when it comes to dog behavior. Luna has taught me so much. She's a big girl with the physical capability to kill a human, much less another dog. Many here have met her and know she's no killer. 6 years of that has put things into great perspective when it comes to dog handling. The most important lesson is that we never know what they are going to do. We just have to put them in situations where they can succeed, and remove them from those they can't.

October 31, 20232 yr Austin pets alive doing the underdog adoption deal. Wish I were able to adopt any of these cuties.

They have a much more serious hierarchy going on than the male dogs have.

November 6, 20232 yr Yep. Penny is the alpha. Blue learned early on. Now Blue likes to take it out on any other female if she's left unchecked. If I dont check her, Penny does. Blue: "Im second in command!" Both just dote on the male dogs, though. Edited November 6, 20232 yr by Deej
November 6, 20232 yr My top Shepherd female would mess up anyone who came into the house and got out of line. Damn I miss her.
November 6, 20232 yr Penny let's them all know she's in charge as soon as they walk in the house. Doesn't hurt them, just intimidates them. Then it's like...
November 6, 20232 yr Luna is good with males unless they try to hump her. That's the only time she's actually terrified me. I only go to my complex dog park where she doesn't have to teach any more lessons. Her new pal is a 110 pound male rottie. He is her Duckie. Just rolls over the second she walks in and waits for her to sniff his junk. Then it's play time. What man hasn't done that for his lady?
November 6, 20232 yr God help me during Fall back... my 2 just refuse to understand that even though we (purposely) went to bed more than 90 mins later than normal both Sat and Sun night, its not fucking needing to wake up at the exact same time as we did the last 8 months. I know its the last time having to do this with Sadie, but damn she really didnt like me trying to sleep in.
November 6, 20232 yr It's not the dogs' fault. It's the morons who keep insisting fucking with the clock twice a year. The dogs are smarter.
