Brutus and Frankie

[brutus77]

Well I guess it was inevitable....Brutus and Frankie had their first fight and it was a doozy. My daughter took a shower and left the foot matt on the floor and Frankie grabbed it and took off. Brutus gets upset when he knows Frankie is up to no good and he took off after him. Apparently Frankie didn't want to give up his treasure and it was on. Good lord it looked and sounded like two bears were fighting in my living room. They were both on hind legs trying to kill each other. I was screaming for them to stop and my poor husband who was trying to change his work clothes came running and between both of us yelling they stopped. No blood was shed. They are now both in time out and i'm having a drink. CRAP I hope this never happens again. I nearly had a heart attack!! When I let them out do you guys think they will be ok??

Mine sometimes get into a fight over a toy. I have a plastic golf club cover, that is a hollow tube. If they don't stop when I say Quit, When I get that-they scatter! Couldn't hurt them with it if I tried, but all my dogs have been afraid of it. Might want to get yourself one. I call it the "spankin' thing!" They know when I say it. Must be the sound of it.

 

[brutus77]

Good idea. I have a soda can with change that usually does the trick but I panicked and didn't think of it.

Omg, Rosalie, how awful! Just hearing your description has me shaking up.

Hopefully others can advise y'all, I'm brain dead & sick for y'all & them.

Praising GOD, no one was seriously injured. Prayers they don't continue

I think they are losing their minds tonight. They chewed a little hole in my dining room wall earlier, they destoyed the mat they were fighting over, and Brutus just got into the laundry room that my son left the door opened to and destroyed another towel. Needless to say, bulldogs are in their crates for night night. I will spring them for potty breaks but i'm done for the night.

Wow after today I don't blame you, and just have another drink!!! I have no advice other than to have another drink because I only have one. But I think I have given you good advice

Oh Rosalie I'm so sorry… must be this damn spring weather!!! I have never had 2 boys together, but I know w/the girls I always had a water bottle to spray at them and it gets them distracted. Sounds like the boys need a nice LONG walk to burn out some energy. Tired dogs are well behaved dogs… LOL Can your kids walk them when they get home from school? Whenever mine start misbehaving we go outside to wear their butts out...

Hope your evening goes a little smoother now…

Im always afraid to let the kids walk them. I am afraid of other dogs attacking them, but my husband and I can certainly do it when we get home. It's a great idea. They are always rambunctious. They are typical boys. We usually remove all toys around 7:30 and they know it's time to settle down. They really are like children. You know those certain nights that you just thanked god that it was bed time? This is one of them!

Oh I completely understand… I let the kids walk Roxie, but the bullies were a different issue. It's a PITA but maybe if you walked them nightly that would cut down on the shenanigans… LOL
