• I thought that our first foster doggie was supposed to be an easy one.

  Not so much.
  At least in some ways.

  He *Wyatt* had never been in a house before and had clearly been scarred, physically, both by cat and dog bites/scratches.

  He's very possessive and doesn't like to share and he has a very, very nasty bark and snarl. He is fear-aggressive towards Indiana and is also possession-aggressive when Indiana has something he wants.

  They are, as yet, being fed entirely separately to prevent some nasty fights but there have still been some very nasty spats. No blood and no real biting, but plenty of snapping, growling and posturing.

  I just wish they'd get the dominance fight over with and get on with being doggies.

  There have at least been some good playtimes outside.

  The poor kitties though, we've decided to completely confine them to one room - especially given Wyatt's unpredictableness inside the house as well as the really nasty scars on his nose that are clearly from a pissed off cat.

  I'm sure they're missing the free reign of the house, but I'd rather have them confined than have to deal with blood.
