What a way to start the day! I went to put the trash away (coz it's trash pick-up day), and I didn't notice that the neighbor's dog (my in-laws) was let loose. Our gate is closed but the iron grills are a few inches apart. This dog, which is also an American Bully, started to sort of scratch the ground and he will often pee through the gate. This was fine, (although I believe it is territorial behavior, am I correct?), as long as my dogs were not being hyperactive coz Skye, the white one, is usually hyper when he sees me go out; and he was jumping and whining at that time. I guess Skye's energy didn't sit well with the other dog because I was a few feet away when they began to fight through the fence. What I didn't expect was that they would be able to open the gate, and things escalated quickly. My bro-in-law, who owns/takes care of their dog, poured water on them, which didn't work. So he began to pull his dog away and out of our gate, while I had to grab at fur and feet to keep Grimm and Skye inside the gate. While doing this, I was trying to close the gate too. I feel like I used a lot of dormant muscles because my body is aching. Skye didn't get injured, but Grimm has a scratch on his chin. I gave them all a bath, the three of them including the puppy (which was thankfully inside the house during the fight), and put medicine on Grimm's scratch. My patient boi, Grimm, will not start a fight, but he will defend his pack. He considers Skye as part of his pack, which is why he did not back down from this dog. I feel for this baby 😔🐾 All of this happened before 8 in the morning. Now, I feel like it's 5pm. I'm ready to call it a day 😔🐾 #MyPets
