ok here goes i have been putting this off because i don't want anyone thinking badly of me. we ended up giving maddie back to the basset rescue, it was not a easy decision but with her up all night i wasn't getting anysleep and was exhausted (and her and atticus not getting along,) we decided she really needed a home with a doggy door and we are not able to put one in. she is being taken care of and we might be able to see her again at the basset fun days.
now for my question, that being said now that she is gone, I thought things around here would be getting back to noraml, but now Atticus is starting to treat Ryobi the same way he did with maddie, not quite as badly but he has snapped at him several times and wont even lay in the same bed area as ryobi. they still play toetgher once in a while but not like they use to. I feel for Ryobi, he is so sensative, and he can't understand what happened to his buddy, why is atticus doing this? they use to be such buddies, just doesnt make any sense. Its so sad.
