    Monday on steroids.

    I believe I've posted a bit about my dog before. He's Leo, he's the homie.

    Normally I wake up in the morning and he follows me while I do my routine, watches me brush my teeth, waits by the door when I shower, etc. He's my shadow around the apt, then we go for a walk.

    This morning I wake up to my girlfriend screaming because her bulldog is trying to kill my dog over a piece of kibble. They have scuffles, but this was out of the ordinary. An example of how they usually chill:

    It's pretty clear that at best she broke his leg, there was a good bit of blood as well.

    So I'm trying to get ready as fast as I could while we get in touch with an emergency vet, and the motherfucker was still trying to be my shadow even though he could barely walk. I'm on the verge of tears because he would not stop and was falling over and whimpering. I had to bundle him up in a blanket to get him to stop, then carry him out to a post and hold his leg up to pee. Put him in the car, drive to the vet, no parking, had to carry him for several blocks while people are giving me sad looks because it looked like I was hoisting him to his final destination.

    Worst Covid Experience ever: Handing your wounded dog to a vet at the door. I've been waiting all day to hear back from them.

    Also the power went out while I was typing this. My roommate says he heard a crash, and I hear sirens. So yeah, FUCK YOU MONDAY.

    • @inteliboy
      they aren't violent. they look for opportunities to show dominance, especially who are larger than them.
      owners make these dogs violent.

    • It would be prudent to get the bulldog checked out. Maybe it has a pain of some kind that sparked the aggression.Doris_McSquirter

    • My mums staffie got food aggression and attacked my dog a few times. Same story as yours mate. It sucks, and hope your dog heals quickly.Sellies
