Milton, my dog, was attacked..

[decem]

by my parents dog, also his brother from the very same litter.

they've always played real rough, but you could always tell it was playing, and they never hurt themselves at all. well the past few weeks they've been in about four or five vicious fights, to where they want nothing more than to kill each other.

the one time my little sister who was home alone called me crying and saying that they were fighting and that she couldn't get them to stop. and when i made it over, about 5 minutes later, they were still at it (actually, they were taking a breather, but as soon as i got there they got back at it). i'm not all that small and i tell ya what, these fuckers, boxers at about 70-75lbs, are not easy to pull off one another. by the time i got them separated that time (with the assistance of my sister), jack (may parents dog) was bleeding from inside his eye and all around his head and ears, and mine was from his legs and back and chest.

well they broke out in a few more since then, but my stepdad and i were both there to break them up as soon as it happened..

so this saturday, my dog is laying in the driveway and my grandma was pulling out. well he wouldn't move and my lil bro went to pull him out of the way. now this is my little obnoxious brother who was probably being a fool and yanking on my dog's leg, and my dog laid his ears back (not as if to warn the boy that he's going to attack or in a threat to the boy in anyway, moreso just to say "stop it you fucker you're fucking ripping my fucking leg off".. )..

as soon as jack saw his ears laid back he fricking ran in and started mauling him.. so they were going at it.. my stepdad grabbed milton and my mom and little brother grabbed jack, but before my stepdad had a chance to unlock jack's jaws that were sunk into milt's back leg, my little brother pulled jack, which resulted in jack's teeth tearing all the flesh on the inside of the leg.

so anyway.. i called a friend of ours who owns a few vet clinics in the area, hoping he'd be able to sew him up since his clinics don't do small animal after hours calls anymore and i'd have to drive an hour and a half away to get milt seen if he couldn't.. we he couldn't get away, but had one of his on call vets meet us down there and sew milton up with some tubes in his leg..

so now my dog is all hobbled and aching.. (i guess i should be giving him his ketoprofen instead of taking it for myself).. and the dogs, as per the oh-so-knowledgeable breeder (she really is a great breeder.. knows a shit load about dogs and boxers and has 10 boxers of her own) that we got them from whom i called to ask how to squelch this bitter blood between these two once-best friends-now-foes, are to stay away from each other for the next four or six months or so..

damn.. this is gonna be a bummer for miltoid, staying in the house while the wifey and i are working and all.

guess i'm gonna have to buy him a sister..

think i'll name her Myrtle..


and no i'm not really taking his ketoprofen..


and yes i'm fucking bored and that's why i typed all that out..


and fuck off to anyone who does like my story or who's going to say something smart about my dog..

 

[decem]

i know SOMEBODY here cares about milton...




so i'll bump for them..

 

[gymrat]

I thought your story to be very interesting. I suggest you talk to someone else about another solution to the puppy fights. It's not fair that he has to stay inside all the time.

 

[the nature boy]

I used to work with this old guy named milton. he was a funny SOB, a true southerner. A huge confererate Civil War buff, I used to fuck with him and tell him the Civil War never happened. That it was all a hoax. Boy he'd get pissed.

Anyway, I hope your dog gets better. Milton is a cool name for a dog.

Sounds like the dogs don't see a clear Alpha male in your "pack" and are fighting for that position. Take them both to obedience school with whoever is the Alpha for each house (probably you and your dad). Also, do some research on methods of becoming the Alpha male to your dog. One simple tip, only feed your dog after you're done eating. The Alpha always eats first.

aww poor miltoid

word up.

there used to be four total.. mugsy was 11 y/o and died this past winter.. the other, Rufus, was from the same litter and died a month before mugsy when he got kicked by a horse.. since then there is definitely no clear alpha among the dogs now..

as for the training.. i've had dogs all my life and i'm quite knowledgable when it comes to training and establishing myself as the alpha.. i am in a much more powerful position than both these dogs, as is my dad, and both have never showed anything but subordinance to either of us. actually.. they're subordinate to my wife, mom, 3 lil sisters, lil bro, horse, etc etc etc.. they know they're place..

 

[decem]

damn.. does noone else care about my poor Milton??

 

[rippedtrojan]

i already said aww poor miltoid. what else do you want?


you are selfish!

 

[decem]

damn you're slow..

this thread isn't about my dog at all..


it's about me..


and getting people to say "ooh.. decem.. i'm so sorry"..


like that mother in 6th sense.. same thing..

Bro, I used to have a 200 lbs mastiff named Angus... sweetest mountain of muscle and murder you ever hoped to meet... and a 40 lbs border collie named Sofa George (hence my screen name.) 4-5 times Angus decided he needed to kill George. I was lucky enough to break it up... but once George got his leg bitten through and another two times he had serious throat wounds. It killed me but I sent Angus to live with friends in Colorado. It was the only way I could think of to keep him from killing George.

I have a very good friend that has a Mastiff Great Dane...damn....what a dog!!! He weighs 229 pounds and is as gentle as a lamb. He is an inside dog too! It's hilarious seeing this dog in the house. He'll run down the hallway and then painfully turn aound bumping the walls and knocking stuff off the wall. They went out of town recently and asked me to feed him. I got out to the house and that sucker wouldn't let me near anything. He was barking and growling and all I could think about was that he was going to maul me and I was behind a 6' high privacy fence and nobody would find me for days. He settled down and let me into their garage so I could feed him but for the first five to ten minutes, I was ready to let him starve!

interesting story decem. dogs are cool. shiet, boxers are cool. but if that shit happens again, I suggest you break out the sumo suit and get your dogpile on. I would love to do that shit.

 

[3Vandoo]

Stop giving Halo to those dogs!!!!!!!

 

[rippedtrojan]

start popping your dog a bit of dbol 2x a day. eventually your dog will totally open up a can of whoop ass on the other dog, and you'll have no more fighting after that.

 

[RADAR]

I suggest taking those dogs to counciling and maybe some anger management classes!!! VERY SOON!!!! RADAR

do they have these?

 

[casavant]

That sucks about your pooch, compadre. Hope he heals up fast. Good luck.

 

[WODIN]

You need to knock the shit out of both dogs and do it so that they can both see it going on. That way you establish yourself as the alpha of the group. I did this with three Chows I owned they never fought once.

 

[decem]

wodin.. my whole family is already in a more powerful position in the group than the dogs.. so they're not really fighting for the "alpha" position per say.. so it'd be either fighting over being a least one rung higher up the ladder than the other.. or perhaps some type of jealousy issue or they just don't like each other any more..


sofa and humorme.. i was actually considering getting a girl mastiff to be milton's lil sis.. but after reading your stories.. i think i'll stick with boxers.. at least they're a little easier to handle when they get pissed


radar and RT.. did you guys see the contract for the osbournes? they made mtv give them doggy therapy for all their dogs for life as part of the deal..

radar.. cool as avatar nugs..


3vandoo.... i was making some tren for a friend last night.. and my dog was sitting there staring at me.. i coulda swore he was asking me with his eyes to just give him a shot a day for a week so he could go rip jack to shreds.. but i declined his request..
