So I was off work Thursday and I live about a half hour drive away from work. Well, I was going to meet a friend for coffee around ten then give Bandit his free bath for the month at work (it's been a few months and he was getting oily again). My co-worker wanted me to come in later in the day because that's when she'd be there so I figured I would drop Bandit off at daycare (he'd only been there once before) and then pick him up when I was ready to bring him in for the bath.
I was running late so I dropped him off at 10 and when I came back to pick him up at 3 he was acting really weird, I didn't think anything of it until I got him to work and started clipping his nails and he started growling and tried to bite me! Bandit is the most velcro dog I've ever known and has always been gentle so I knew something was wrong. Well, I did a check on him and found a bunch of little bite marks all over his ears! I called the daycare lady and she said that he was there all day with an older dog with no teeth and an eight week old puppy and she didn't think anything had happened. She said "I was grooming dogs all day and he just sat right beside me" I didn't even realize it on the phone but I remembered when I dropped him off she had mentioned that her groomer had walked out and stolen all her supplies the last week but I didn't realize that meant she was doing BOTH on her own!
You cant watch daycare and groom at the same time. So I can only assume that the puppy was using Bandit as a chew toy and I know from other altercations Bandit has had that he wouldn't retaliate just curl up and whimper. I am so mad! He acted strange for the next two days he even growled at Sadie when it was time for bed that night. I cried after I hung up the phone with her because I felt so guilty that I had left him there. I have a hard enough time with my anxiety taking him to daycare so after this never again. If he can't stay home or come with me then I'm just not going!
