As some of you may know our world has been turned upside down this last month, after "rescuing" my very abused sister from Ohio from her marriage, and getting her down here to FL. to live with us, til she gets on her feet. She has a Chihauhua that is 12 years old. Well UNFORTUNATELY she gives Robin tiny little Rawhides, and keeps them in her bedroom with the door shut. Today Vegas come slithering like a snake into the living room and I KNEW something was in his mouth. He ran straight to his crate. I seen him chewing and I got in his crate to find what he had. Vegas will be 7 in March and NEVER, EVER showed one ounce of aggression towards me, anybody or any animal. I tried to stick my hand in his mouth and he growled a growl I have never heard and snapped at me!!!! , I continued to try to pry his mouth open and I have to admit I had fear. I have never experienced any behavior like this before. Finally the damn little rawhide slid out of his mouth as he was chewing and I snatched it up!!! It was slimy and gross. I yelled at my sister that it could of easily killed him (perfect size to get stuck in his throat!!) I lectured her on keeping her door closed AT ALL TIMES and I know she felt horrid. I later apologized, but made it VERY clear to keep her door shut at all times!! I am still in dis-belief that Vegas was really going to bite my hand off and he meant business.
