Bitch Peace

This is an exceedingly rare photograph

Meg, the old Welsh terrier has never taken to any other bitch 

She has spent the better part of nine years, posturing and snapping at any female.

She has initiated numerous fights

She has bitten through a succession of leads when transferring aggression 

And she has spent many a stress-filled evening making sure she remains top bitch in the eyes of alpha male me.

That is until today.

Today she sought out and curled up with the benign Winifred on the hearth rug

And stayed there, with her skinny little face resting on Winnie's fat biceps 

For an hour or two.

It's not huge news in the great scheme of things

But

It certainly made my day
