I think that is how this will turn out. Nova understood after one "attack" that Mandy was alpha.

Yes, I'm sure that's it. I knew this would happen, I just didn't know it would be this bad.

All that matters is that he is ok! And I can assure you he does NOT hate his new family in the least bit. This was a rather unfortunate lesson, but it did teach him not to mess with Mandy, and this will probably never happen again

Cheer up and don't be sad! He is ok!
Thank you, that means a lot

So is Buck officially yours now?
Yes, he has been here "for good" since Friday. I haven't been on since then because we had a really, really great weekend together hanging out with my friend and her new Lab puppy. But he is officially mine now

He's 7 1/2 weeks. I wanted him to be much older and stronger before Mandy established her dominance. Nova was 4 months, and she was big enough that her whole head didn't fit in Mandy's mouth like in this case. Mandy only bit him once and all of her canines made a puncture wound (she only has three canine teeth).

Is he living with you now?

I haven't been around much lately so I didn't know if he was home with you now or not.
I haven't posted about him coming home, but yes he is mine now

Thank you I was blaming myself at first, with all of the "what ifs". My mom was doing the same because she was also in the room with me but she couldn't see the dogs where she was.
