Long story short, late this afternoon, Joey and Dora were in my bedroom with me, watching tv. They were finally running around after each other for a few minutes, so I thought that was great. ( I am not so sure Joey was playing looking back, he might have just been scared and running around in fear, but if so, I did not think that at the time)
They took a break.. Joey sat on my right foot, Dora on my left. Next thing I know, Dora leans up with both paws wanting me to pick her up.. Joey lunges across onto her, and gets ahold of the side of her neck. He was growling and she was yelping. He even did the jerk motion, like they do with stuffies.
I reached down and grabbed Dora, but Joey kept holding on. I had to pop his nose to get him to let go of her. As soon as he let go, he hit his back/side in submission, because he knew I was upset. I immediately checked her for wounds, but she did not have any. It did not break the skin.
I took Joey and put him in his playpen. I did not know what to do.
Thankfully she is ok, and not hurt. Just scared of him now.
Is this a normal thing, since he did not break skin.. Something to be concerned over? I am scared to even let him out with her now...
Also wanted to add: I took Joey on a 30 minute walk tonight alone, so he could get tired before bed. He used the potty several times outside, but as soon as I brought him inside, he pooped in 3 different spots... the last time right in front of me. He NEVER does that, esp. not in front of me! Is this a showing of jealousy? He likes other dogs, and EVERY PERSON HE MEETS! Why would he love other dogs, but not like Dora?
Ahhhhh. Melissa told me two dogs were a completely different ballgame. She was right.
Thank you for listening! Kt and pups
