since Patch got neutered at 6 months (Now 2 1/2) he got to play with another dog last week. He wasmaybe 5 months old when he got to play with the last dog. I mean, we take him to Petsmart and what not and he just stares at them and wants to sniff but that's it. He's usually got his head halti on so he can't play. When we walk him (again, on his head halti) and he sees one, he is just quiet but pulls really hard to get to them, won't bark at them or anything... Meanwhile the other dog is going absolutely nuts and barking. Our neighbor has 5 or 6 dogs. One lab and the rest are chihuahuah(SP?). He doesn't care about them. He knows they're there but can't see them because of the fence.
ANYWAYS! A girl I work with has a 6 month of Pit mix named Brewskie. He's much much smaller than Patch. So she brought Brew over and we let them meet out in the cul-de-sac on leashes and Patch's head halti and what not. Brew kept screaming and Patch kept pulling. Patch tried to hump Brew several times and Brew just took it all in while Patch was trying to figure out WTF was going on. We were out there for maybe 15 minutes? Finally took them out in the backyard and they went nuts. Brew would run and Patch would go after. THey played a little and got along fine so we took the leashes off.
Mike came outside and Brew ran in the house got in Patch's crate and Patch just sat there sniffing. Brew went and ate Patchy's food and Mike made them get out, because he said Patch seemed a little uncomfortable with that. THEN they went and got in our bed together!? My poor baby was so confused but he was wore out. Patch just got to where he'd follow Brew around the yard watching and then pinning him down while standing on him. Brew did go after his ears a couple of time and Patch warned him each time. I didn't want him to, but Mike said to let him because he was teaching Brew the rules.
So, all in all, it went really great. She's going to bring Brew over again soon so we can let them play some more! The only thing thatdid happen was when they were leaving we noticed spots of blood ALL over our deck and carpet. Finally noticed Patch's feet. He tore his pads up pretty bad from being in the cul-de-sac at first. One pade, he completely tore the skin off, one he tore a HUGE chunk out of, one he tore part of andthe skin was just hanging there. The other he scrapped up pretty bad. Took him to the vet the next day for it and they gave him some antibiotics, creame and some liquid epsion salt and they also glued the one part back.
Oh and no, sorry I don't have any pictures of it. Maybe next time. He slept for a good 2-3 days after that. I'm so proud of my lil' boy!
