Sugar and Spice, but not very much nice
Picked up a foster dog yesterday because she was totally out of time and would have been euthanized. She is food agressive but silly me, I thought, Alice was food agressive, that's no big deal. Spice is a whole different kind of agressive, eating in her crate she growled and bared her teeth at my dogs for just walking by and started to lunge at them when they got too close. I'm afraid to touch her, afraid that she'll bite me.
Unfortunately, there is nothing placeable about this dog and I will have to take her to be euthanized. I've never had to do this for one of my own (though one was euthanized after placement, after he bit somebody, a thought that's very much with me as I look at this dog and am reminded that I felt the same way about that other dog.) This time I'm listening to my gut and not letting the dog become a liability.
Please keep Spice in your thoughts as we send her on to the afterlife. I hope she understands and is then free of the demons that make her so angry.
