Sometimes a spray bottle of water or a running water hose will help, if they are convenient. I have stopped cat fights and dog fights that way. I don't mean use hot water. I just use room temp or whatever is in the hose:) Of course it may not always work, but both cats & dogs don't like getting sprayed:) Best wishes, Sherrie:) -----Original Message----- From: John Hawkins [mailto:jhawkins1320@charter.net] Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 12:48 PM To: Jan Cc: candichat@dolls.de Subject: Re: Pets, Anyone?
I guess this would work but it's kind of like throwing a child in a creek & telling them to swim..and set there watching them struggle. If the attacking animal is much bigger then the other animal , I'd think it might shake the one to death when it grabs it by the neck. However, I've always been told, even by the animal lovers in the various animal societies..to never step in between fighting dogs. I once grabbed my cat who was about to attack another cat & ended up in the ER from all the bites & scratches. I should have thrown a blanket over her 1st.

The dogs had there first big fight today. I had given them each a treat. Bailey ate her's, and went after Sheba's. Well, Sheba attacked her. Grabbed her by the neck and started to beat the crap out of her. Thank goodness hubby was home. He told me to leave them alone as Bailey had to learn that Sheba was the boss. So, I just stood there and cried. Bailey was so scared and has been following me around the house ever since. I've never had 2 dogs at a time, so I don't know how to handle this.
Well, I got some 16" dolls and outfits today, so that made me feel better. LOL!!

I know what you mean. Crackers was no problem and Milo was great after 1 week or so but Rascal's been a real challenge, lemme tell ya. He's almost perfect now though so hang in there and Bailey will get it too. Good luck, Jan!

I'm having a terrible time training Bailey. Just went upstairs and she had pooped in the family room. We usually have it closed off so she can't get up there. Somehow we forgot to put the gate back up. Good thing I love this little dog. Jan ***********************
Before being down to the 2 cats & 2 dogs...we had 4 dogs, all old. My husband laughed that we had a nursing home for old dogs. 2 died last year . our 16 yr. old Rat Terrior , Trixie, of cancer & a n elderly stray Cockapoo, Snowball, who had congestive heart failure ( you know that a cockapoo is part Cocker Spaniel/poodle...my husband thought I was taking in a bird when he 1st hear this word) Pat Hawkins
