She was one of the cutest buns I've seen. L( RIP sweet Angel. Angel knows its not her mommies fault. PLEASE don't punish the dog, but DO let her know what she did was WRONG. Dogs are very intelligent and she'll understand you are mad at her. Just let her know what she did was awful, but please don't punsh her. She's a dog and that's how dogs, especially huskies are.
If you can't let Tikeya know what she did was wrong right after she did it, don't bother now. But I think that you did. She has no concept of time and doesn't understand that "oh I did something really bad yesterday and that is why mom is mad at me".
I am very sorry about your bunny, she was beautiful.
PCB- I know you are a very intelligent person, but suffice it to say, you are off base here. Since you have not had a relationship with a dog, you don't understand the love and loyalty a dog gives you. If she continues to be mad at the dog, and treat her differently, she may very well ruin the relationship she has with Tikeya for the rest of her life. Dogs forgive but they don't forget. Just ask anyone that has a dog that cowers when a hand is raised in innocence.
Tikeya's mom, I am not saying you are abusing Tikeya, I am just using that as an example.
