So anyway - Elle goes nuts for any sort of food/treat that she gets these days. And then she gobbles it down in one bite and most of the time tries to steal Satin's treat from her. Sometimes whoever is giving the treat (my mom, dad, or brother) can keep the girls apart so that Satin gets to finish her treat and fatty Elle doesn't get it.
Yesterday my mom gave each of the girls a bully stick. They don't get them very often, but they LOVE them. As per usual, Elle finished her bully stick in about 10 seconds, and Satin was still working on hers. My mom had to leave, so she opened the door to the backyard to let the girls get a drink of water before she put them in their crates while she was gone.
Satin got up to go get a drink, and Elle said "whoohoo! free stick!" and jumped to get Satin's bully stick.
Well, apparently Satin thought "enough is enough" and ran back in the house to let Elle know that it was NOT OKAY TO KEEP STEALING HER TREATS!
And then the girls fought. And my mom screamed to break them up but the damage was done very quickly...
And now Elle looks like a junkyard dog. :(
So. NO MORE treats or sticks for the girls. And my mom said last night she threw away every single bone or food type toy that they have. And of course this morning they went on their walk together and were back to being best friends like nothing ever happened.
Poor junkyard roid rage dog. :(
Good news is my mom said it doesn't seem to be bothering her at all and she let my mom clean her up and put some ointment on it. It just looks bad. VERY bad!
Aww poor thing! Kori xoxo

Oh my goodness! I'm not sure what I would do if my two bigger dogs got in a fight. Those darn treats, haha. Glad they're friends again ;)
ReplyDeleteOh poor Elle!! Glad they're friends again!
ReplyDeletePoor Elle! I can't blame her though-I get pretty aggressive when I'm hungry too. Don't come between a big girl and her food!
ReplyDeleteOh no poor Elle, you mom must have been besides herself. I know what it is like to have two giant dogs fighting and it's not pretty. I would have your mom take her to the vet those wounds look quite bad.
ReplyDeleteYou can still give them treats, just separate them when you do. Kasha had a brother, he was a dane mix. He has since passed away but Kasha and him got it to it quite a bit then we just had to keep them apart.
Poor Elle I hope she gets better soon.
Denise & Kasha the Dainty Great Dane
Awe poor gigantic baby all hopped up on roid rage, who can blame her she was probably just "watching" it for her friend, you know as friends do, and then for some reason Satin just assumed she was going eat it up. Poor mistunderstood Elle it wasn't her, it was the DRUGS and paranoia on Satin's part! lol
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Poor Elle!!!
