OT Tetanus jabs

Those working with sharp implements and/or delving into the soil need them. My husband tried to separate two of our dogs having a fight last Friday and got bitten on his left hand. Aaah the joys of dog ownership! I know it well. I find a foot covered with a strong leather boot put between their chests with a hefty sideways motion often works well. I learned long ago that hands and dog's fangs don't make a good combo in this situation. It's damned Jack Russells Snap! I have 2 Jack Russells and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . I say it's the sublime to the rididulous - the sublime breed varies given the circumstances - sometimes it's the JRs and sometimes the King Chuck. and a wire haired Dachshund that's the problem! One Jackie and Oscar the whd, are tussling it out for who's leader of the pack - or who is second in the pack. Oscar is entire, the JRs aren't but it seems to make no difference to the JRs in terms of sheer bloody mindedness. I know exactly what you mean about JRs! In our case one of our JRs is entire and the other isn't. My boy, (Bertrand Rusell Jack Russell - aka Bertie) has been neutered and is a lovely wee man but he simply won't let my husband's entire JR (just plain old Max - he's a thick boofhead but a very good looking dog who has been called on to do his duty in producing litters for neighbours) dominate him. Sometimes Bertie just stands there and shakes with his head averted as Max growls whilst guarding the food bowl or a human's feet or whatever it is he's trying to be dominant about and sometimes Bertie will just finally have enough and just go for him. But the problem is always started by Max. Love them both as I do, I will never have two together again! I think that half the fun of JRs is having 2 together and we've not really had any problems before till Max. But then we do live n a farm and they go off hunting rabbits and things together and have a lovely time. And we never really had a problem with them till the CKC arrived. Max treats the CKC as being "his" bitch and Bertie is not allowed to go near him. (But if the CKC starts rogering Bertie then somehow Max sees that as being Bertie's fault and goes for Bertie). They *love* people, even if they bark like demons and mostly, they love each other but occasionally these furious outbursts happen over the classic "who goes first through the door?"! LOL. I can just picture it! The same thing happens here on a daily basis. Like living in a 3 ring circus. But wouldn't life be quiet and dull without the little brutes? snip Poor man. I hope he's beginning to feel better Sacha. Thanks so much. Slowly mending and I hope the overnight hospital stay is going to do the trick. I hope it does too. But there is also another dimension to this. I always think an overnight stay in hospital is good for a man in any circumstances. It knocks them off thier perch a bit and they stop acting like Jack Russells for a short while (at least it's done so with my husband who has recently retired and is still recovering from the luxury of having 2,000 staff and thinks that I'll put up with his attempts at managerial antics) ;-P |
