On Monday I brought Lilly and Maggie over to my mom's friends house (my mom was house/dog/yard sitting) for a play date. Molly came out and (thank GOD I was near Lilly) just attacked her. Bit her arm, got her by the back of her neck and shook the *poop* out of her. I was on top of Lilly and got Molly off of Lilly but there was a moment that when she was shaking Lilly that all that I could really do is scream at the TOP of my lungs. My mom was there trying to get Molly off of Lilly but I guess between me screaming and my mom yelling and me pushing Molly off Lilly, Molly let go and mom pushed all the dogs in the house. Meanwhile I think while all of that was going on I think that Maggie fell in the pool. I didn't see her do it (Obviously) but she was all wet the next time I saw her. Thank GOD that she got out, that's all I have to say :shock: . So I finally got home, and I got into my parking space and cried my eyes out, went into my home and checked her out a little. I put them in there bed (creates) for a nap and I went back to the pool. Molly was lovin' up on me like there was no tomorrow. Generally she's a very nice dog; I really don't know what happened. They've been around each other before; I just don't know what ticked. Any way Molly is up on all her shots and I'm watching Lilly very closely. I was sitting watching TV and Lilly was resting/leaning against me and she got up for water and there was blood on my shirt, so I got a wipe from my 'pet emergency kit' and cleaned it out. It wasn't as bad a cut as I expected, didn't need stitches or anything, scabbed right up. She's shaking her head better every day. The swelling is going down as well. My mom told Missy what had happened but I don't know what she said exactly she said, like I hope that she didn't put any blame on me or anything to make Missy angry with me. Ya know? My main question here is how do I treat Lilly now around other dogs? My friend Todd has a Basset and a Boxer (The Boxer part time) and they get along great but what happens now? Lilly isn't the same with Maggie either yet, because she hurts, but is she always going to be different now :cry: :cry: I'm scared, for her and how she'll react to her (Lilly's) friends. She yelped last night when my friend petted her chest, and her chest didn't get wounded. She got scared somehow, and my friend walks her every day when I'm at work. Suggestions?
Oh yeah, and I'm not sleeping well either Flash backs are a bitch :evil:
