Tank’s dad, Peanut, is a bit nasty. He’s always been the sweetest dog, especially to the kids, but this evening, when I took Tank out to do his thang, Peanut was out in our yard. He was chewing on a stick, but when Tank went to say hi to his dad, Peanut started to chew on Tank. He has a small puncture in his side, but we’ve been keeping peroxide on it, and I’m sure if we keep it clean he’ll be just fine. I will be changing the way I deal with Peanut from now on. I won’t be quite so friendly, and I will be shooing him out of the yard when I see him out there. It’s a shame, because he is a really sweet dog, but I don’t see any other way to keep Tank safe. And we definitely will not be letting him out on his own. Tank will be on the leash from now on, unless I know the neighbors aren’t home.
