Horrible Fight

I know I shared a similar photo the other day, but this rock makes me so happy. I have to photograph it every time we go on the hike to Rocktown. Doesn't he just look so happy to be snuggled with that tree? :)

Today my dogs, Hopper & River, got into another horrible fight. :( Hopper, our eldest dog (12 on Halloween), actually started it this time. She's a mixed bread of terrier, bulldog, beagle, & who knows what else. But she's OLD, and she picked a fight with River, who is not even a year old, double Hop's weight, & is a Cur mixed with something else. She's bulky and mean.

Hopper got the worst end of it, of course. It took me a good minute (and that's a long time during a fight) to get Riv off of her. I know you're not supposed to reach in and break dogs apart, but I was seriously afraid this time that Riv was going to kill her. Brooke tried to help by splashing water all over them, but instead she splashed water all over me, which really didn't help at all.

The dogs are both fine, minus a few bite marks and some seriously hurt feelings by Hopper. They play together just fine 99% of the time, but apparently Hopper didn't feel like Riv needed to be around me so she jumped her. I don't know what I'm going to do with the two of them.

I sat outside for a little while and enjoyed the cold air and the warm sunshine. It has been just beautiful today (minus the fight).

Brooke left for her bachelorette party in Atlanta. Her future SIL is having all the girls stay at her apt. I hope they have a wonderful time. :)
