This has NEVER happened before with my dogs and I am still a bit taken back and shocked! To start, both dogs are fine, but I almost needed an ambulance to revive me from being so surprised!
Colt (our pittie pup) and India (Shepherd X, 6yrs old) are BEST friends - India is amazingly tolerant of Colt and his antics but something tripped her tonight and I'm not sure what to make of it.
Colt was playing with his Buster Cube - he plays very rough with it, throwing it all around the house - and he was next to India, maybe 2 feet or so away from her, nothing unusual and all of a sudden I saw her bear teeth at him (he had no idea, he was focused on his toy) and before I could do anything she was up and after him across the living room. I called her away from him and she listened, but then Colt got up and started running towards her.... in full PLAY mode! I grabbed him before he could make the situation any worse and had my BF get India outside. Once she was outside, I let Colt go and he went right back to his Cube...
I let India in after a few more minutes and Colt ran over to her and was wagging his tail and submissively licking her lips. I redirected him to a toy so she wouldn't get upset again - but I just don't know what to think.
I don't know if anyone has any advice - I just needed to vent. Is it possible for a dog to just be in a bad mood?
