Just came back from the vet because Oz's face swelled right up. I thought it was a bee sting. Nope, dog bite.
So we just finished week 2 of crate rest for Rigby. She's in a soft crate in my room, and very happy to go back there after she's gone outside.
I found out that my parents, feeling bad for her, have been leaving my bedroom door open when I'm not around.
Rigby doesn't like when other dogs come too close to her crate when she's locked in (totally fine if the crate is open). For the past 2 weeks Oz has been testing the waters getting closer and closer while she snarls and barks at him (which is why I kept my bedroom door closed).
The other day while I was at work, I guess Oz decided to test the waters again but this time stick his head into her crate as it was partially undone on one side apparently. And Rig bit him.
Just one puncture, but it abscessed and blew up.
Had people left the freaking door closed like I had asked, this wouldn't have happened
But no, Rigby is the bad dog in this situation because "Oz deserves to be safe in his own house"
And now they're discussing how bad of an idea it is for me to get a puppy while Rigby is still around. They don't seem to realize that when I get a pup, THEY wont be around to screw up the plans laid out to keep everyone happy and safe.
