    Giselle got bit

    I walked into the dog room when Ivy and Giselle had just finished dinner, and Ivy thought that I had food. Giselle ran up to me for some loving and Ivy attacked her.

    Giselle is at the e-vet now, about to undergo surgery. Ivy ripped a chunk out of her side and there's a small spot on her back where air is collecting under her skin (subcutaneous emphysema). I'm just very disappointed. My parents are questioning Ivy's mental stability now and are convinced that she'll bite humans next. As you can imagine, they want me to give Ivy up. I, of course, know that that's ridiculous and that scuffles like this aren't unusual or uncommon. Heck, Lucky did this to Giselle several times when we first got her, but the only difference is that Lucky is flat-faced and small whereas Ivy is large and powerful.

    Please, keep Giselle in your thoughts. It pains me that the only reason she got bit is because she wanted me to pet her and love on her

    Poor Giselle!
    It sounds like it was a complete accident, and a miscommunication on Ivy's part. I hope your parents can come to understand that.

    I hope the surgery goes well.

    Awww, Giselle! Reading that just broke my heart. =,( I will be thinking about you, and praying your surgery goes smoothly, little girl. Gonzo wishes he was there to make to feel better.

    Sophie... I'm so sorry, that your parents are questioning Ivy, and you have to go through this. Scuffles happen, and jealousy between dogs absolutely does not equate to human aggression. =( I hope you can get your parents to understand that.

    Poor Giselle! (((hugs))) I hope the precious girl is okay. I hope your parents don't get rid of Ivy. Just remind them that Lucky did this to her before.

    Millions of {{hugs}} and prayers to you and Giselle!!

    I pray her surgery goes well and that your parents understand that things like this happen and it doesn't mean that the dog is going to attack people.

    We'll keep Giselle, Ivy, & you in our prayers. Hope Giselle heals up quickly. This sounds like dog to dog stuff, I doubt it means she'll attack people. I hope your parents will come to understand this as a dog to dog thing.

    OH my gosh Sophie!! I am so sorry Giselle got hurt. I just hope you can get your parents to understand that Ivy is not a mean dog. Also, it may not have been that "hard" of a bite, considering Greyhounds have very thin skin. She could have done the same to another dog and not caused as bad of an injury.
    You will all be in my thoughts today.
    ((Hugs))
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
