    Mon, March 7 2011...Oh My Goodness! How horrible and sad too! I just read the entire thread and have tears in my eyes. Poor Titan! Poor you watching and trying to separate Zeus from pup Titan. THIRTY MINUTES!!! I cannot imagine how horrible it was to watch big dog hurting pup and you could not stop it... unreal. I suppose Zeus stopped when he thought Titan was dead. I am so sorry.

    My heart breaks for you re Zeus whom you love very much. However, I have to agree with Glacier that you cannot trust Zeus again and you cannot re-home with another family because you dont know what he will do in the future.

    What a mess! I'm thinking how hard it would be to do what you might have to do with Zeus... but it was not normal behavior. I dont think you can trust him again. I am so sorry for your troubles and I hope Titan gets better and isnt scarred for life (inside and out) from this unprovoked attack. I watched his video recently and thought he was a sweet pup and you were good with him.

    Sometimes we have to do things we dont want to do but down deep we know what has to be done. Again, I'm so sorry. ((Hugs)) to you... Kay in NC

    I'm so sorry to hear this, how awful. That had to have been so scary trying to break up a fight for that long. As Nebo has gotten older he has little tolerance for puppies, when he was younger he was great with them. With both Keva and Skya he bit them in the face a few times when they were bugging him...never an attack though, just bit them and they ran off crying. They learned soon enough to leave him alone when he's had enough, they get along great now. Zeus' tolerance for puppies may be long gone, this sounds way beyond just intolerance though. Neither bully breeds or malamutes are known to be great with other dogs, its possible he felt Titan was a threat even if Titan didn't start anything...just being a male could be enough. Best of luck to you with whatever choices you have to make, and again, very sorry you've had to go through this.

    Freedom titan is not neutered but zeus is. like i mentioned till 3 hours b4 the attack titan was super submissive displaying all submission body language to both blaze and zeus he wouldn't even dare touch zeus's ball.

    Both dogs went to the vet zeus is unscratched but poor titan his eye blood vessels ruptured and will need eye ointment for a while. he has two super deep puncture wounds on his neck where zeus grabbed him and one puncture wound on his ear other than he's physically ok other than being sore.

    Emotionally he's surprisingly doing great! tail wagging not afraid of bigger dogs since he was almost killed by one there was a german shepherd at the clinic barking like crazy titan didn't even flinch so it's a good sign


    Zeus's future is still unknown the vet believes something triggered the attack he has known zeus for 3 years so he suggested i take zeus to a kennel where they can observe him and see if aggression in him is provoked or not then we'll take it from there so the next 2 weeks will reveal what will happen to my baby zeus

    here a couple of pictures i took with my phone so sorry for the poor quality.
    The 1st was when we were on the way to the vet you can see his droopy ear is the one with the wound and the right side of his neck is swollen like he has a ball in there.
    2nd pic was after they shaved his neck and found the puncture wounds they had to open 2 more hole to clean up all that's inside and prevent anything to build up inside he's on antibiotics for a week got a pain killer shot. So all he needs now is a little TLC and he'll be back on his feet again.

    3.7.11. Hi Mooshi, I've been wondering what was going on today. Hope you are doing ok. It's good to know that Titan has had vet medical attention Wow! That 2d photo sure looks bad but with antibiotics I suppose he will be ok. I smiled when you said Titan wasnt afraid at the vet and the barking big dog didnt scare him. I guess he's young and will adapt or maybe forget what happened. He's a good boy! I dont know what to say about Zeus except I would be afraid to have him near Titan in the future. Maybe the stay at the kennel will shed a new light on what's going on with him. Thanks for the update... Kay in NC

    I am glad to hear an update, at least on Titan. I'll still wait for the update on Zeus.
    I know this must be so difficult for you. As I said in the other "dog attacks" thread, I do not know what I would do in your situation. I can't even fathom it, so unless it happened to me, I'm not even going to think about it.
    I hope whatever decision is made will be the right one for all involved.

    More big hugs for you, and please give little Titan some loves for me. Also some for Zeus too.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Titan's photos brought me to tears. I hope he makes a quick recovery, Good luck with Zeus. I wish we could speak "canine' to figure out what happened.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    When i got titan home and well zeus's scent is still around poor thing he cowered and peed on himself and started shaking i gave him his time didn't rush anything he got up on his own sniffed around and when he realized zeus isn't to be found he went back to his old self and blaze did a great job in greeting him with a sweet kiss and a play bow and of course a big wooowoo. i will go visit zeus tomorrow at the kennel and see how he's doing the house isn't the same without him around holding his ball in his mouth acting like a big goof ball.

    Thank you all for the support and im sure titan will enjoy his hugs and kisses from you all

    Please give Zeus a gentle hug for me. As worried as I am about Titan I am worried about Zeus at the kennel too. I hope this will come to the best possible ending. I'm with K9Karen, in that I wish we could speak "canine" and figure out what happened. ((HUGS)) of course for Titan and for Blaze and Queen Ka, too.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Oh My! Poor Titan was scared. Just the smell of Zeus made him upset. Can you imagine how glad and relieved Titan was/is to not find Zeus there? ((Hugs)to you and Titan... kay in NC
