Pepper

Friday will be a very sad day for us.

Our dog Pepper will be leaving us. We are heartbroken but she is no longer happy with us. We have never had problems between our two dogs but she has suddenly turned against our other dog. Our other dog, Fig, is a labrador and a VERY gentle dog. It's gotten to a point, over the last few days, where Fig will not fight back when Pepper starts at her. Fig will get hurt and we'll loose both dog then. Pepper is such a good dog I don't know what happened. She's perfect on walks/runs, really well trained and loves just being around you. Now she can't be near Fig for a few minutes without starting a fight. Pepper would NEVER hurt any of us but there is a huge risk of getting caught in the cross fire because once that switch goes off there is no stopping her. You really have to pick her up and carry her to be locked up.

I'll miss my baby. It's like a switch has gone off in her head. I want to keep her but I can't risk it with our other dog being there and of course with Amelia running around and Fig was there first so... She will be going to a dog rescue in Kilkenny. We know the old couple who run it and they are going to work with her and rehome her as an only dog. :( She's not happy here because of the way we have to keep them separate. It's not fair to Fig because she doesn't understand why they can't play and Pepper doesn't seem to "mean" to flip out. It's all very strange. :(
