Dog fight

For those of you who don't know, we have five animals.

3 dogs. Bo (bouvier, oldest), Cole (bouvier, son of bo), and BJ (cocker spaniel).

2 cats. Willjohn (abysinnian), and Tanya (calico)

Bo and Cole do not get along. In fact, they'd rather kill each other. So we keep them separate. Cole lives in the front room, and Bo lives basically in the rest of the house (he's old and a huge baby, so it's fine). Occasionally we put Bo up in Mom's room and let Cole have the rest of the house. But that's besides the point.

We keep them separated. Yesterday around 7 or 7:15, I dunno, I can't remember that well (mom and I have spent a while pieceing together what's happened), I heard Bo yelping. So I came in yelling for Mom and saw Bo on the ground, his foot there, and then all that I'm aware happens is that Cole comes out of nowhere and attacks Bo, and Mom comes in screaming.

From what Mom and I have discussed, was that I got there first, Mom came in from the front, and somehow Cole squeezed past her and jumped Bo.

Now, you have to know, our dogs have fought before, a couple of times. We normally get them off each other pretty quick, no one's hurt, maybe a little limping from Bo. But all those other times, all the guys have been there. The guys are stronger than me and mom.

So during this, it was just me, and mom. We were screaming (because, honestly, that's all you can seem to do, is scream, and it's natural), and trying to get the dogs off each other, mom even grabbed Cole from the behind and tried to drag him off, but he wouldn't let go (and looking back I'm so mad I didn't kick Cole in the goddamn face, seriously the adrenaline and anger I feel from this literally turns my vision red), and Mom accidentally made the mistake of trying to pry Cole's mouth off Bo (she is quite away if you stick your hands in, you will get bitten), so she does this and all I see is her scream in pain, not in fear, fall over and quickly go to the kitchen.

I have no idea what she's doing or what's happening, so I have cole by the neck and I am just DRAGGING him off Bo, and I do successfully drag him off and throw him in the front room. (I am very proud of being able to do this on my own). So after I have the door shut I look around, notice Bo's limping, but fine, and look at the ground and there's blood. I shout to Mom, "Mom, there's blood on the ground!"
"There's a lot of blood, from me!"

So I run over to her, and she has several gashes on her hands, so obviously, she's been bitten and chewed up really bad (amazing that Bo wasn't hurt that badly, if at all), and was washing her hands in the sink. She tells me to get something to wrap it, and I'm just so disorientated from this that I go, "Wrap?" and I go to the bathroom and get down bandaids (roflmao X_X) and she walks in saying, "No," so I get a couple of wash clothes and wrap up her hands, and she tells me to go get the car keys and her purse... This whole next part is awfully confusing and I'm having a hard time remembering it from all the frantic nerves running.

Basically I can't find her keys, I help her change into new clothes, we can't find her keys, we get the spare key that only opens the car, mom locks the housedoor, I don't shut it very well, we freak out because the carkeys are NOT in the car, and very much happy that I DIDN'T shut the door well, and we were able to get in and dumped out her purse, and we didn't find the keys, and Mom remembered what happened when she came in, prior before the dogs started fighting, she had flung her keys on the couch. So we got the keys, mom's able to drive herself to the emergency room, and I'm there to just make sure she's going to be okay. We get in, we sign her in, she quickly gets a doctor, Animal control is called, Pat Smart (my mom's friend) comes and stays with us to help and to come back to the house to help Mom look over the dogs for injuries. We talk to Animal control, they said they'll come by tomorrow (today) to look over the dogs, and Mom gets her skin, not stitched since it's an animal bite, but glued together (Dermabond), comes home and it's leaking a little already, and they check over the dogs, I recount the story briefly to mike and go sit at the computer, trying to calm down from all of this.

I will say while searching for the keys, since I was in the front room, I gave Cole quite a beating. I did nothing beyond punishment, I did not abuse him, but I made him know what he did WAS WRONG.

He did escape from the house (my fault), but he came back to me quickly, so that's good.


Well this morning Mom took the dogs to the vet, got them updated on their rabies vaccination, and etcetc. And right after all of that, the Animal Control people come by and check the dogs and their papers, etcetc.

I do want to assure everyone, the dogs are sweet, they're harmless, but not to each other... They'd never hurt anyone on purpose, they just hate each other.

After all of this, we cleaned up the house some. It looked like there had been a freakin massacre, there was so much blood everywhere. Plus we had thrown things around in our frantic state... Heh...

Basically, another bad thing happening. ._.

Heh, this has been a pretty bad summer...possibly my worse...

Love you all.
