Mystic,
Anya is fine; she had a medium puncture wound in her right temple and a ring of bruises around he cheek that look like what they are. We did not have to go to the hospital; I have been using polysporin on the puncture wound and the bruises are already turning yellow. She doesn't even act like she knows what happened, and neither does Oliver (the dog). I think she was trying to kiss him on the head like she does to the other dog, who growls but grudgingly likes her and lets her kiss him--Miles is much more attached to her. He worries over her when she cries, and he figured out quickly that she is the distributor of all good things: she gives him half of everything she's eating. Thanks for asking!
I'd would be especially careful if my dog has ever shown any dominance issues--Oliver ad Miles still have pecking order problems, and Oliver has always seemed confused about who is top dog between my husband and I--he is very submissive with my husband. He also had a troubled youth; he was an outdoor dog until he was nine months old, then I took him in. Despite this, he has a good temperment, is extremely affectionate with me (but not MY pup), and well behaved because we spent five month in obedience school. Know anybody without kids who might like a dog?
