so last night could have gone better

[skoosiepants]

Just when we were settling down to catch the encore pilot ep of that Terminator show, Roxy decides to eat Chewie. I mean, they fought over a bone, but Chewie's smaller than our cats, and Roxy kind of wanted to kill her. I'm not going to lie, it was possibly the scariest thing ever, oh my god. We ended up at the emergency vet for about three hours; Chewie's got a puncture wound on her throat and one just under her eye, which LUCKILY didn't cause any corneal damage. We kept Roxy downstairs and slept with Chew-bear snuggled up to us under the covers. Roxy, of course, doesn't remember a thing, and couldn't understand why she couldn't sniff and nudge Chewie around, and Chewie was terrified of her for about four hours this morning, but J called around noon and said they were playing together again. They no longer get bones, ever ever. I've still got this horrible sick feeling in my gut, because it's not like we can ever get rid of Roxy, because they'd put her to sleep, and Chewie is my baby girl and I can't live without her.

Poor Moose had no idea what was going on. He was following me around the house last night, and he usually just ignores me if I don't have his food.

So, okay. Take my mind off of stuff with drabbles? I want Zack stories. And stories about Joe. Or anything that involves cuddling and/or hurt/comfort.

it's a terrible feeling because you look at your baby who's always been so gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly, and think "OMG, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?" Yes, exactly! And it's so weird, because Chewie is a really agressive player, and will actually bite Roxy hard in the face all the time, and Roxy just takes it and nudges her away and is so gentle with her, and then this.

We'll have to start watching when we feed them, too, I guess, if this is what happens with a bone :(

Was your Lucy all right? Is she scared of your lab now or did they get over it?

she was completely traumatized for about a month or more--cowering, whimpering, and strange behavior in general. BUT she's slowly come out of it. within a couple months they'd resumed their rough playing, and now they even cuddle on the sofa together. :)
