Teddi

In a sad turn of events Teddi left our home on Thursday. It became clear that Lily would not do what was necessary to defend herself and Teddi was becoming increasingly aggressive toward her. In the last couple of weeks Lily had suffered a laceration to one of her ears and has a puncture mark on her side where Teddi bit her. We are not quick to give up on dogs and had probably let this go on longer than we should have. It was a difficult decision to make but we could not in good conscience allow Lily to go on being injured. Since the local shelter is no kill and Teddi is housebroken she shouldn't be too difficult. She does need to be in a home where there are no other pets. She is always going to want to be the alpha animal in the house and will do whatever she has to in order to bend other critters to her will. Corgi's are known for their stubborn nature and the fact that she is half blue heeler does not help her instinctual behavior.
