Well I guess it had to happen, that Darcy would get put in his place by one of the older boys, but I was totally shocked by who put him in his place and the end result!
I have 3 adult boys, Logan (6) top dog, then Mr.Chips (4) another Blenheim and finally Nico (2 Tri) who is Darcy's older half brother.
Well, they had all been having a fine old time, been a walk together, sunbathing together, fine no problems, then Mr.Chips was having a sniff around in the kitchen when young Darcy comes barrelling in, slips and bangs into Chip's back end, and got snapped at hard by a shocked mr.Chips. Darcy starts yelping blue murder and after all the others had been put away so I could look at him, I discovered a bite wound up on his eyebrow. Bites are nasty, they have so much bacteria on their teeth it is like them being injected with it if they bitten, so straight off to the vets, of course it's after hours, so of course it's £45 for the vet to just show up, plus another £47 consult fee plus another £10 for the anti-biotics, main thing though is that he doesn't get an infection in the wound. To look at it you can't even see it, he's sulking a little but has lapped up all the extra attention, and I had to wrestle him away from my vet Emma who was making the most of a good puppy fix!!
I don't think Mr.chips meant to harm him, he was just putting Darcy in his place in the boys pecking order, I just figured it would be Logan and not Mr.chips who would do it, mind you Logan is the biggest softie out!
OK, had to get that off my chest, thanks for listening!!
