A VERY WIERD DAY!

Well, at first I wasn't going to post about this, because I didn't want Liz to get upset and worry. However, when I thought about it, it is just another "adventure" when you have four dogs in one house....

Yesterday I was in the kitchen and Cammie, Harley and Serenbe were playing in the den. All was well. The usual play growling and jumping around and chasing going on. All of a sudden, it escalated and next thing I know it sounds like the hounds of Hell had been released. I don't think I have ever really heard a dog fight before. Let me tell you that you will have no doubt when it goes from play to fight by the sounds coming from the dogs. I ran to the den to find Cammie and Serenbe locked in a fight. I was so surprised, I just stood there for a minute until I heard the yelps of someone getting hurt. I yelled at them and screamed and neither of these did a thing. I finally picked up the pillows in the den and started throwing them at the dogs. This didn't help either. I decided to use the pillows as weapons and started hitting both dogs over the head. Even this took several times to get them apart. I now understand the concept of hosing down fighting dogs with a water hose! When I finally got them apart I dealt with Serenbe first and threw her on her back and dominated her and caused her some pain and growled at her. By this time, Cammie was sulking in the corner. Serenbe had blood in her mouth, which scared me to death, so I took her to my room and locked her in there. I checked Cammie for injuries but didn't find anything other than wet spots, but she was licking her leg and I let her settle down. You should have felt their hearts. They were beating out of their chests at this point. SO WAS MINE! I checked on Serenbe and she had a small flesh wound to the neck and ear. Nothing bad. Washed her up and tried to figure out where the blood in her mouth was from. I think she bit her tongue. I left her in the room. I came back to Cammie and did find a tiny nick on her leg, but it wasn't even bleeding. After everyone settled down, I made Cammie and Serenbe lie down with me on the bed. Serenbe went to Cammie and tried to lick her. They were both pretty wiped out by then, so I just layed down with them for a while. TODAY, everything is back to normal. Or maybe it is even different. They seem to have made some adjustment in their relationship. Cammie and Serenbe were eating out of the same bowl this morning and they were both running around quietly licking each other and seeming to say "I'm Sorry". Let's just hope that this incident was the last! Grammie's ticker can't handle shit like this no mo!
