Hello everyone,
Thank you in advance for any input you can give me regarding our dog situation :-)
We have 2 older greyhounds, Lulu is 12.5 and Misty is 8.5. We recently adopted a 4 year old Pit Bull Mix from our shelter as we previously had a Pit Bull who passed away. The house felt empty and we wanted to get another Pitty Mix in honor of our previous one.
To make a long story short, our new Pit Bull was not feeling well (unbeknownst to us) and we had to have her hospitalized for a week. After her release she was a completely different dog. Much more energy and affection.
Unfortunately, along with her new found health came a lot more aggressive behavior and although she gets along well with Lulu (our older greyhound), her and Misty do not get along. They have already been in a bad fight but luckily I was able to separate them fairly quickly.
We have tried to keep them separated yet still allow them to see each other. There has been some growing thru the barriers. We have been able to walk them together and also have had a little bit of luck allowing them to be in the back yard on leashes.
Our newly adopted Pit Bull, Gracie, has had a rough time as she had been on the streets, in the shelter for a while, in the hospital for a week and then having confrontations with our Misty.
Any suggestions, input or comments would be greatly appreciated. We are willing to put in the work to make this a lot better.
best to you all,
Rick
