Rufus's good friend, Bentley was there.
Run, Bentley, run!
Commence WWF-Style Smackdown:
Ima gonna slap you!
Did we get him?
Yup, I think we got him.
Hahahaha! MadeYaLook!
There was definitely some Post-Smackdown-Spooning.
Stella was her usual stoic self.
And after a shot like this (note Rufus), I should have known it was coming.
So we went home, la de da. I decided to plant my raspberries and let the dogs play in the back yard. Stella quit after a bit and laid down on the back porch. We went in and ate dinner. Toward the end of dinner (a wonderful stir-fry prepared by my wonderful Andy), I noticed some fluff was coming off of Stella's back/side. So I leaned over to investigate. Rufus had ripped a hole in her skin.
I went to Walmart.
Rufus is lucky that Stella is such a forgiving dog. And I can add another one to the long list of Stella-Injuries. I'm hoping we won't have to take her in for stitches. xxxx :/
I'm also thinking about investing in doggie health insurance. Any recommendations?
***note: I think I should mention that, as a shar pei, Stella is prone to skin problems, so although I was a bit peeved at Rufus for playing too rough with her, I can't really blame him because he doesn't understand English (so I can't really tell him "Sissy has skin problems...no biting!"). Sadly. Any tips on getting a dog not to play bite other dogs, or is that just part of being a dog?

I love the "did we get him" pic with the huge dog in the background-probably my favorite...except for post-bandaged stella. I just had to laugh, because otherwise i wouldve been mad at roo dog :)
Awww. Poor Stella. She probably know Rufus didn't mean to hurt her.
Sorry no recommendations of Pet Insurance - we don't have any either.
I just love watching the dogs play. Even in the pictures they convey happiness. Puppy hugs to Stella while she heals.
p.s. we are headed back to New Orleans, and a new restaurant we are going to dine is called "Stella".
I'm afraid it's part of being a Shar Pei. We have super sensitive skin. I get hurt/bloody when I go play at the dog park pretty often. It doesn't take much for me to get scratches on my face.
Friends of mine said one of their Shar Peis has scars on her face from just wrestling with her brother.
Anyway, glad to find another Shar Pei in the blogosphere! I'll be back!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Thx, Laney! xoxoStella
