I've been bitten by a dog who showed this normal behavior.pixiegirl said:
It was my own fault and I never expected sympathy.
I knew the dog was one of the types who might bite, but I tried to roughhouse with him anyway.
But it was a "leave me alone" bite... not a "I'm going to attack the hell out of you" bite. Some dogs just aren't social. Doesn't mean they're dangerous to everybody, but they might be dangerous to kids, who don't understand or comprehend that not all dogs are the same.
Give the dog up. Take it back. Give it away. But I don't see any reason at this time to have it put down. That's just my $0.02, but since it isn't welcome in a public thread where you opened yourself up for people's inputs, I'll just shut my trap in this thread now.

I'm like that too with Mily. And have been with every other dog I've ever owned. I'm top biatch and I don't have to play dominance games to get that position. I have never had to roll Mily or pin her to let her know I'm the boss. She's just an all around good dog. She misbehaves on occasion and a firm voice is all I need. I have never feared taking something out of her mouth or picking up her food bowl and certainly not clipping her nails. That's the way it should be. I'm the mommy and she's the puppy, end of story.

That is also how I've raised my girls. I hope whatever decision you make is the best for you. I would like to believe that there is a perfect - or better - match for Murphy out there, ensuring safety for you and yours and happiness for the him.
Yes, you did. Now get rid of the dog.pixiegirl said:

Not trying to be funny or anything Pixie but maybe you and others should pray for this hard-time-adjusting dog :shrug:

I just got off the phone with God and He said that Noah, Grady and Mily have already put in a request for the dog to get gone. He said to tell you sorry - first come, first served.dems4me said:

let me see a pic - how old is he? It may work if I can twist roomie's arm who is being her old nice self again... and I don't have kids. How is he with cats :shrug: I am good with animals and this sounds like a very fulfulling challenge. Is he housebroken?

Other then lifting his leg on Mily he's been really good. He's about a year old, all his shots are done for a year. He comes with crate and bed, leash, 3 months of Frontline (flea stuff) and 6 months of heartworm stuff. I don't have a picture of him cause my house isn't set up enough yet to worry about the computer and I have no clue where the camera is. You're more then welcome to stop by and see him.
