Not that anyone cares ... but (the big butt), for the last month went through a tough ordeal with my dogs. I have a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, (had her as a pup), and back in December I rescued a Wire Hair Fox Terrier from a neighbor. I noticed that the Wheaten seemed lonely during the day so a companion would do her good when we were not home.
This little WHFT (Shelby) seemed just the ticket. Full of energy, fun, smart ... she and the Wheaten (Cookie) would play and play until totally exhausted. All was grand until a month or so ago when Shelby decided that she wanted 100% of all human attention in "her" house. That is when the fighting started. Shelby would attack Cookie ... the fighting was terrible ... resulting in trips to the Vet and Urgent Care for those fighting and those attempting to break up the fights.
For the last month most of my spare time has been devoted to finding Shelby a "good" home. On Saturday she left with her new family and so far all is well with her. If you haven't lived with a high energy Terrier (i.e. Jack Russel or Wired Hair Fox Terrier) ... the action is non-stop ... and now it is so quiet, I feel as if I am retired. A friend was over last night for dinner and he liked the new relaxed atmosphere of the house ... but I miss my bundle of energy ... although I know that it is all for the better ... Shelby is a great dog and I really miss my little girl.
