So I pick up the kids after work on Monday and Jaime comes into the garage to help unload the kids. While I'm standing their, I can hear the dogs inside fighting wildly. I rushed inside and grabbed the two of them to seperate them. I noticed Rebel had what looked like some blood on the top of her head so I started investigating. Rebel got bit on the ear and was blood was dripping all over the kitchen. As she shook her head, the blood was splattering all over the floors, walls and cabinets. I called for Jaime to run in and help me as I was trying to hold Rebel still so she didnt track blood anywhere else. Jaime was able to put Sophie (my mother-in-laws) dog in her kennel so we could attend to Rebels cut. Luckily we had some "styptic" powder on hand and were able to get the bleeding under control. That lasted only as long as rebel didnt reshake her head.
While cleaning up, Jaime noticed that their was a chunk of black hair on the floor. We assumed that one of the dogs lost a piece of ear. Boy were we wrong. I looked over at Sophie and noticed a chunk of her face was torn off. It was like an "Indian scalping a white man". The bite took off the flesh and hair without making the wound bleed.
Needless to say that both dogs were kenneled the remainder of the evening and are looking to make full recoveries. We will make sure that we no longer leave the two alone without someone in the house.
