If you ask any pooch what preoccupies his/her mind other than their stomach and play, it's their status in the 'packing order'. And thus, the tale of Dog Woods two Bitches. Anna and Trixie - who've embarked on a saga of tussles . Ranging from snarly faces, to brief confrontational face downs to full fledge violent fights.
The last couple of days we - the rest of us Dog Woods Pack were engaging spectators (can't help it Dog Fights are exciting times!) to Anna and Trixie's 'Bitching'. Major smack down wrestling! And who's emerged the Alpha Bitch? We think it's a draw.
However, we say with much certainty, there'll be more entertaining rounds of tussle ahead. Looks like they're both definitely prepping themselves up for the next round for Bitching smack down.
So far Anna's received the worst end of the battering with her face half swollen from lacerations inflicted by Trixie. However, 'She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed' a.k.a The Chief is the least bit amused by all the (exciting) bitching going on in Dog Woods (spoil sport) She's since taken measures to separating Trixie and Anna ... and all Dog Woods Pack particuarly 'Anna-Trixie' socialization are now closely chaperoned. Any possible inclination of a confrontation and the Chief would issue a menacing growl ... an order enough to freeze any Dog Woods poochie (TOP DOG or otherwise) guilty or not in his/her tracks!
Unfortunately, there'll be no recent pictures this time. The Chief's too upset to take any Anna and Trixie in their battered forms. Anna who seems almost stoic about her facial injuries is now on a couple doses of antibiotics.
Oh dear, we are sorry to read your post but totally agree with the Chief's solution to seperate the two unless supervised.
ReplyDeleteDog fights can be nasty indeed - although we have the odd snap at each other mostly we get on well.
We hope Anna & Trixie manage to sort something out between them as we fear your Chief will become exhausted!

I am SO sorry for your humans. You might find it almost fun to watch, but as one whose adult males (a big basset and a wiley Jack Russell) would turn on each other in a heartbeat, I know what the Chief is feeling all too well.
ReplyDeleteMore smiles to my current fur-kids, two happy, devoted to each other girls, romping sweetly in the middle of the office as I type.
Oh, that's really sad. And scary. Sorry to hear that.....

Uhoh. Too many chiefs and not enough indians. Girl fights are awful. We are sorry to hear about this.

We have two males who go after each other occasionally. Mostly a lot of posturing. Fights between bitches are the worst. They really mean it. We're lucky that here everyone accepts Samba as top dog and no fights about it.
ReplyDeleteMm. Bitchfights really can be tough. They don't call 'em bitches for nothing..
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear. I definitely agree with keeping them separated for now.
thats why mommy only has one girl and us boys - Woodrow is a very good alpha and keeps the peace ...peacefully - whe bean was still living with us - they were contantly at each others throat!!!

My mom has a nice divot in her forearm from separating two of hers in 2000 -
ReplyDeleteAfter that time, she learned the tail was the way to separate any 'tiff' -
I hope all heals okay -

Oh, sorry to hear about the war injuries...I'm an alpha bitch myself but I'm the only one, so I get my dominating kicks by trying to hump Little Boy (much to my human's horror).

Oh no war wounds.. They will figure it out in time..

Hope the girl-dog-fight gets settled soon! Our Trixie has gotten into a few squabbles with other female dogs, but nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is like that at our house too. Lilly and Paris both want to be Alpha female.
ReplyDeleteI hope everybody's booboos heal fast.
ohhhh those dog fights are bad news! We are sorry to hear about the grumblings!

Rrrrr. Where'd our comment go? Blogger ate it!
ReplyDeleteMoma was rem'bering all the years of separation between her alpha wire and our Gramma's alpha Yorkie. Little, but tough and spirited those two were. Separation was the only solution.
Thanks for rem'bering us when we were gone for so long. We're glad to be back and will be even happier when we see healed photographable dogs again. (Is that a word?)
Heal up. And be good!
Love,
Jake and Fergs
Oh no! I hope you patch up ok! War is no fun... I play dead when someone is aggressive with me...
ReplyDeleteLife is never dull at your estate, is it? But we are glad your Chief knows how to handle the warring ladies.
ReplyDeleteWoos, the OP Pack
OMdoG.. sorry to hear about the fights between Anna and Trixie.. your poor Chief must be totally stressed out. (Our mom was stress out just READING about it..)..
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good weekend.
