| Constance: Wet and unbowed |
Terriers and I have something in common........we never let anything lie...
Today that irritating tenacity rebounded on Welsh terrier Meg somewhat after she got all too excited chasing squirrels in my brother's garden.
We had gone up today rather than my more usual Thursday because my sister in law needed to run a few errands, as just as I was in the middle of my second cup of coffee in the day the sounds of yapping echoed around the garden.
I watched as Meg flew one way and another after a two squirrels who had crossed the garden to stuff their faces on the contents of the bid table. She was frustrated and angry and as she bounced past Constance who was watching the action with benign apathy she snapped at her in frustration
Not a good idea!
Bitches, unlike dogs have a tendency to hold grudges and will fly at each other when provoked, and the one snap was all it took for a full scale dog fight to start.
Of course Constance always had the upper hand, weighing in at 25 kilos she quite easily could have floored Hattie Jacques let alone a 10 kilo Welsh terrier bitch, so knowing the Meg would not back down even though she would be literally crushed flat by Constance, I hurried outside, picked up a handy bucket of water I had used to water them earlier and doused both bitches thoroughly which did the trick
Constance withdrew to a sunny spot hyperventilating and sulking at the indignity of the soaking whilst Meg had to dragged away with a kind of " leave it...she's not worth it" kind of struggle usually seen on somewhere like Jeremy Kyle.
Constance was bloody but with as it turned out Meg's blood as the terrier had almost lost a canine tooth in the fight.....I am typing this waiting for Pat,Andrew's mother in a law to come back from the vets....she kindly agreed to take her down to her practice in Denbigh as I couldn't leave my brother .......
sigh,
Why can't bitches flight like a couple of girly girls in the movies eh?
A tiny bit of hair pulling..a brief slap and lots of tears before bedtime
I have posted this charming young lady fight for Tom and Chris...thought that their red blooded hetero natures would enjoy the spectacle
Oh thank you John, great picture.
ReplyDeleteLooks a little like a snapshot of the 'Next Sale' in the ladies shoe department.
Not sure Tom will approve, more likely to clutch his handbag and tut....
You really don't expect dogs who live together as BFF's to suddenly turn into snarling maniacs with each other...but a dog is a dog I guess. At least not too much damage was done.

ReplyDeletedogs are dogs ARE animals at the end of the day
bitches that get along can harbour some dislike for another and just occasionally things will get out of hand...
more often than not jealousy is the cause ( or squirrels)
Constance does have a Mike Tyson look about her. Girls will be girls!
ReplyDeleteNice bitch fight picture; it's good to see you slipping into the murky waters!
ReplyDeleteI once decided to stop two dogs fighting over a stick; I still have the scars!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes John. Dogs fighting is not a pretty sight, I think the bucket of water was just the ticket. I hope both dogs have recovered alright now and get along ok from now on.
ReplyDeleteI guess they just had it with each other and the gloves came off. Now that they have released their frustrations, they will be friends again.
ReplyDeleteOMG That girly fight is terrifying. As for the doggy fight - I love the way bulldogs behave - they standfast and stand absolutely no nonsense. Hope both are pals again today.
ReplyDeletePoor Constance. She doesn't look pleased. But she sure is cute.
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder what sets them off after weeks of bliss co-habiting. As you say probably jealousy. And please warn me next time you plan on posting a boob. I'd just put a bit of muffin in my mouth and had to call for paramedics after I almost choked to death...
ReplyDeleteYou see John...we don't fight often, but when we do...we mean it!
ReplyDeleteOwwww! I'm small chested, but still.. owwwwwww!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemeggs.
(I wonder if hurts as much when it's silicone?)
Constance looks like she's going to make you pay for dousing her with that water, John. I'd sleep with one eye open!
ReplyDeleteNever got into a fight with another girl, but learned to scare either of my brothers because I wouldn't give in. So I rather resent the "girly fight" reference. Some of us bitches can be mean. Until we get old and feeble and have to rely on just chewing people out. Good thing one of your dogs isn't a pit bull.
ReplyDeleteWas that a Breast? OMGosh it WAS a breast AWKKKKKKK!!!!
ReplyDeletePoor pups... poor you for having to pay for the damages ... it's onto the naughty chair for them!

I do not recall giving you permission to use that photo of me fighting with my sister. That will be $200 please.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your dog fight. I hate it when that happens. My bull terrier and Bumble on occasion will go at it. Not fun. Terrier brains are in a different world when they are hyped up.
