We started the day out bright and early this morning...before 6am...with Zoey(the puppy)'s 1st frantic run thru the house scoring a direct hit on the 1st pee pad in my room and near misses on all the others in the living room, kitchen and TV room. After breakfast (dog biscuits and peanut butter) the dogs started their usual wild wrestling but it got a little out of hand and Zoey let out a bone-rattling scream as she wrenched away from Fanny and ran crying to me. I couldn't see any blood or open wounds but she continued to cry until Jeff picked her up and checked her out: legs (nothing broken), sides (no bites) and ears (no rips). By then she had calmed down a little but still wanted comfort from the humans. Fanny seemed dazed and tried to check Zoey out, too, licking her all over. Definitely not sure what had happened. Eventually all was quiet and the dogs were friends again. Later in the morning when we were all outside I spotted a little dark mark on Zoey's nose...a small scrape, maybe dried blood. The area around it seemed a little tender to the touch but it wasn't bleeding. We think Zoey had her head in Fanny's mouth and pulled away allowing Fanny to scratch her head with some teeth. If Fanny had bitten Zoey's head the spot would have been bigger and the hole deeper and there would have been much more blood. Maybe Zoey learned something...don't put your head into the big dog's mouth...she sure doesn't remember what 'stay in the yard' means because later she ran down to Wally's with Jeff right behind her! She didn't like the paddling she got, or being led back to 'the yard' or, most of all, being tied up and not being allowed to roam around.
