Updates on the dogs

After a day of wanting to rip one another apart this is the end result:

They share my bed without a fuss!
We solved the problem by taking them out on a walk together and we bought a brand new spray bottle. Nothing says "alpha dog" better than a spray to the face!! (that sounds totally wrong out of context. haha)
So they have been doing better. We still keep an eye on Ginny (the border collie) because what it was, Ginny wasn't feeling well and she would be warning Maggie (the chow/shepard mix) to keep away. Well, my dumbass dog was the one who got all vicious and attacked (figures). If she were more submissive she should have just walked away, but didn't. The both of them are incredibly stubborn so yeah. You know how that works.
Ginny had a raw spot on her underbelly that has scabbed over. It looks like a scratch. We think Maggie scratched her while they were playing, and when Ginny was cornered under my desk Maggie was sniffing her and probably hurt her. Maybe even scratched her then. So who knows? We're just happy to have peace in the house now. We still have to work on Maggie's dominant personality, sadly, but hopefully we are en route.
And in case you're wondering, yes. Maggie always looks like she is about to devour the outer beaches of space and time.
also, Ginny has hiccups now. cuuuuute <3

I'm glad it worked out. <:c Sorry I had no advice for you on the issue. I wouldn't know what to do other than let them battle it out or separate them. I'm glad to know though that a walk helped them! I hope Ginny heals well :)
