Day 39 - Food Food Food

Today was one of those days that just disappeared.  I did absolutely nothing and felt quite useless.  And though I didn't go off the program, I certainly didn't care.

We had a house guest today and it was quite difficult keeping all the "kids" playing nicely.  The white one seemed to have gotten a little of her umph back.  It is so nice when one can dominate another even if they are only a quarter of the size.  In the dog world size doesn't matter - all that matters is who intimidates the best and the white one has that down to a "T".  She does it with brute force - a nip on the butt, a pull on the ear, a nose in the gut.  She proudly will take down a wounded baby and crow about it.  Or howl about it ...

She stands proudly over the wounded baby and like a bully stands over a fallen kid and smiles brightly at all those that pass by.  Meanwhile the baby doesn't know she has just be dominated thinks it is all fun and games, but is now at the mercy and whim of the an Omega who has long been fighting to renew her position in the pack.  Humans must intervene for baby does not yet know that she is to submit and by not submitting she will be punished and today she can not be punished - because she has 12 stitches in her stomach and punishment may well rip out those stitches.  

This does not bode well for sleeping arrangements, for Omega will overstep her bounds with the Alpha and will eventually be cast out of the pack.   It is a given - Omega never gives up she will fight for Alpha position, so  tonight she will fight and again Alpha will hurt her again - Alpha is 108 pounds with all her teeth, Omega is only 38 pounds with 2 teeth.

And the new Omega leaves this pack to join her own pack were she is Alpha, and does not yet realize it -  But in time she will and when that happens our Omega will not be able to dominate but will be dominated and then our Omega will hang her head is shame and sorrow.  It will be a sad day when that happens.
