Mudge, my little Buddha

Jan 21, 2009 09:58

Coconut is a boxer. A white, deaf boxer. She has been at our home for about a week for a trial adoption. We wanted to adopt her but first we had to see if she would get along with our other three dogs (Minnie, Mudge, and Diego). Needless to say, it's been a rough week. If you know anything about dog training, you know that it's extremely difficult to train a deaf dog who is set in her ways. Coconut, despite her jumping and constant barking, seemed sweet. However, I can no longer look at her.

I found out this morning that she is suspected to have killed our poodle, Mudge. I am extremely upset about this. I loved Mudge and I will miss him greatly. After a fully body exam, performed by Bethany who is a Nurse, Mudge was found with 9 bite wounds to his neck. Never in my life have I wanted to hurt a dog so bad until this morning when I saw Coconuts face staring up at me. I did nothing. Just walked away from her. I can't look at her right now, so I left.

Bethany is planning to return Coconut to the Boxer Rescue soon.
