Bon bit me (not feeling so blue any more!)

[joycenalex]

wow that's one impressive bruise. and the paw print shorts are really cute. phreds' idea about NILF is good, as are some of the others' idea about seperate feeding areas. i don't think that raw food and raw feeding is more dangerous then kibble, to a dog, food is food and it could have happened over any type of food. i am so sorry that this has happened.

[wolf_Q]

Anna I'm so sorry that this happened to you. That looks REALLY painful, ouch! I've been bitten a few times at work but nothing like that. Please get feeling better soon. And know that we still love Bon, he's a sweet boy, any dog could bite somebody in the middle of a dog fight. Nebo is food aggressive with dogs, I know he would never bite a human over food, but it could easily happen if I was trying to break something up.

Gosh, I wish I had your email address, right now, but I don't (hate those darn computer crashes). Pam, thankfully, alerted me to the fact that you are hurting. I dare not even open the pictures, Anna. I've seen enough.

I simply don't know what to say or what to think, but I trust you and Mark to control your situation as best you can. I have had a similar situation in my home with Mack, but we think we have it under control now. But, like you, we have to feed Honey and Mack, seperately. He had too much aggression towards her. Thank goodness, he has not shown it towards us.

I'm sending you much love and many prayer for healing. I'm going to be away for a week, so I can't check on you, but please know that I am thinking of you all.

Oh, Anna, my dear friend! Are you trying to outdo me? Now, now.

This is the 1st I've mentioned this, but Mz Klo gave me a nice impresion on my bad wrist last month. i won't go into details, except to say, it was totally MY fault. as I grabbed her collar (anger on my part) after she disobeyed me when I was doing something I she didn't like. Lesson learned.

Of course it was an accident. Bon reacted on instinct. You're right, dog are dogs. They don't have hands to tell us to "get away" or slap us silly. You reacted instinctively also. It's one of those things.

I feel your pain (do I ever)..(Percocet works better than Vicodin fyi). Drink lots of H20 with Augmentin (I've had it 2x in 2 months and had a *ahem* female* reaction) Thankfully you don't need rabies shots (I'm one up on you )).

I love you to pieces (you know that) and hope and pray you feel better fast. A million HUGS too

Anna I am so sorry to hear about this. I hope you start to feel better soon and heal quickly.

Wow!! I'm so sorry for you, Huney and Bon both. How scary!!

My mom has had issues with her dogs fighting over food, even though they all eat kibble. Pippi's attacked Dazzi, Dazzi and Taggert, and I think even Jack has got caght up in one or two skirmishes...all around/over food. They now all eat in their kennels.

With some packs of dogs it is just neccesary to feed them separately. I think with Bon's size and potential for future food agression, I would not let him eat with the girls anymore. It may never ever happen again, but because Bon is so powerful, it may just be the safest thing for everyone.

Lots of prayers healing vibes coming your way. Please let us know if we can do anything!!

Oh dear, Anna. That wound looks just horribly painful I'm so sorry you had to go threw such a heart-breaking and painful injury. It was an accident on Bon's part, as every said, he's a dog, and dogs just aren't human even though they share so many human-like emotions. I truly believe it was just an accident and that Bon isn't a dangerous animal. I also think the dogs should be seperated from now on when they are eating, but I am sure you're going to do that anyway.

I hope you get to feeling better and I hope that Huney didn't get injured also (((((hugs))))) to ya, girl. Chime in when you're feeling better, please.

[shais_mom]

Oh My!
I'm so sorry Anna- I can't imagine how badly your leg hurts- probably as much as your heart.
We know that Bon is a big baby. Just a big baby with a lot of teeth and a big mouth. I don't think its entirely fair to compare him with Angus b/c that's like comparing 2 kids, but its not my leg either.
I agree with the other's I don't think RAW or KIBBLE had anything to do with it. If dogs are going to have issues it doesn't matter what they are eating.
I agree also that Huney was probably trying to protect her momma.
I also think another round of obediance might not hurt. (once your leg heals up of course) And heck - I think all of our dogs would benefit!!
I also think an email to Nancy the Pet Psychic wouldn't hurt in the meantime either. I know it sounds out there but to get inside that big bonehead it'd be worth it.
Lots of LOVE and HUGS going to all of you!
Call me if you need anything!

I have done the same thing.

We now have Anna,Lacy is very jealous of her,Lacy got mad and took a bone away from her.Which started a huge fight,Of course i jumped in,Anna had major surgery and i was worried she would pull something in her stomach.

I grabbed Lacy out from under her(Lacy fights on her back for some reason she always ends up underneath the other dog.

She growled at me and went to nip,I got my hand out of there in time.

But it is the true,The point you made(It happens)

[Oggyflute]

Hope you get better soon Anna. Thinking of you mate. Give your pups a hug, it always makes me feel better.
