Sometimes Mattie snaps. It's only happened a few times in the 10 months we've had her. She looks up/wakes up and jumps one of the little dogs. She could do a lot of damage...but that isn't her personality. She is intuitively kind and gentle by nature. She seems to go into a mode where she is "fending" off danger. If she thought they were rabbits, I think we might have blood....but she never goes that far. This morning , it was Stevie. At first he thought it was the play fighting they do, then he new it wasn't and turned on his 10 pound fierceness which aggravated the situation until he was running fast and away crying for his mama.
I've always gathered them back together and forced a "reconciliation" but this time Stevie wasn't having any of it...and Mattie tried to lick and apologize. She always always seems sorry. I don't think she understands it when it happens any more than we do.

Oh jeeze!! What is that silly girl dreaming about before that happens?!? Has Stevie forgiven his sister yet?!?
he was ok by mid morning. but he was clearly taking a step back all day long in their bone fights.
