This is my first post to the FML and after several attempts of various of a solution that have not worked, I figured I better ask for some help. We have 8 fur babies and 1 foster baby and we have a problem. Our Emme is our resident bully. All 1lb. 2oz. of her. She is a very tiny silver mitt. But in her case don't let her size fool you. She and her sister came to us about 2yrs ago from a abusive situation. Emme just recently had a liver biopsy which led to adrenal surgery. During this time of her recovery, we brought home a foster baby, Lil' Bear. And we had another baby that was in house recovering from some serious problems. Our problem now is that Em won't leave the 2 newest ones alone. This goes way beyond pecking order and who here first. Its like she is on a search and destroy mission. I'm beginning to think she part bloodhound. Even if the newer ones are in a pile under the other she will root down and drag them out. Its like fight nite. The other two for some reason won't try to defend themselves and if they do, it worse. We have tried the "time out cage" and bathing them together in the same shampoo, and if some instances letting them fight it out. But Em gets sorta vicious. We know that they can be territorial but she is taking this to a whole new level. I realize that we may just have to put her in a separate cage. We love ALL our babies and don't want them to be hurt or emotionally stressed out. We welcome all and any suggestions. We like to have your input Linda, Bill & the cast of 8 + 1 Emme, Lizzie(Borden), Katie, Dessa, Ashala, Bandit, Mr Lucky, Cosmo and foster babe Lil' Bear [Posted in FML issue 2952]
