Dayam, that looks like it had to hurt. You shoulda done what I did when we had two of our dogs fighting....punted 'em across teh room.
Our cats are chickens. We have a rabbit and they all run away from it.

This cat is backing away.....

Maybe they have seen Monty Python's "Holy Grail", and know the truth about rabbits?

Here's a quick-and-dirty example of how to do it. This was done very quickly and is somewhat exaggerated. Select the entire goblet from the waterline down. Remove from the selection the fish itself. (I also cloned out the flash hot spot with healing brush).

Load the selection and create a new adjustment layer for selective color. In the drop-down box select "neutrals". Move the yellow slider to the left, then adjust magenta and cyan so it looks right to you.

That's all there is to it.

Hey! That's great! Thanks bear_music! I shall play with this!

A water pistol is quite good for separating cats fighting and I should think poodles come into the same category ( well they're certainly not real dogs!) but this story reminded me of a very good friend who took in a rescue german shepherd to join his own german shepherd.He had been given lots of information on how to get the two dogs together. The dogs seemed fine together for a few days but I was sitting in his garden while he told me how great the new dog was, when a huge fight started between the dogs. He just yelled at me to grab a tail and pull! so there we were, each pulling backwards on the tail of a very angry german shepherd. It certainly got the dogs apart but you couldn't stop going backwards or else....? My shrieking "Now what?" got the reply " They didn't tell me what to do next.. they just said pull"!!!!

Add about 6 oz of red food coloring and that should do it.

As long as you're pullin your OWN dog, and assuming you have alpha status (which you damned well ought to, or shame on you) the next step is to forcefully flip the dog on its back and hold it down; it will quickly go into submissive mode, with tail tucked up.

However, this is NOT a good thing to try on a strange dog :-)

Thanks, bear! Next time I'm in this situation, I'll remember that!

In fact he dragged his own dog through the door of the house and then ran out to help me! The dogs never did get on and he ended up having to rehome the rescue dog. Remind me to tell you about this guy and how he bought a dead crocodile from the pet shop! I could fill a thread with stories about him!

Come visit us on the Cape and I'll demonstrate with Karma the WonderDog, LOL. You can tell your stories over a leisurely meal...

Might just take you up on that, Bear. If you were closer I'd bring Penny, the one brain cell Briard and Lace the Lab to meet Karma the wonder dog!

Might be a good time to warn dog owners about scavenging dogs - Penny is in the vets at the moment after having her gut opened up to retrieve a sock she managed to swallow! We're hoping she'll make a full recovery and we will have her home soon but it was a close thing!

And grapes and chocolate are poisonous to dogs!

so keep your socks in the laundry basket and your grapes in the fruit bowl!

GRAPES? I didnt' know that, and I thought I knew everyhting (grin)... Good thing I don't eat 'em often and keep 'em in the reefer when I have 'em.

Briard's a cool dog. I once had a Giant Schnauzer... What happened to Penny's brain cells? Too much of the "grape" at dinner time?

Briards are beautiful! In England we don't crop their ears as in the States so they are really droopy. Penny is our third Briard and they have all been different. Bess, number one, was huge for a bitch and thought she owned the world, Jake, number two was a very brave gentleman. He has a serious foot problem and the vet squeezed it to check if it hurt him! He didn't even move, just closed his eyes and when we got outside, he whimpered and gave us his bad paw. The vet found out afterwards it was just so bad he had to have the toes amputated and couldn't believe Jake hadn't half killed him when he squeezed it. Penny is just thick! Very, very affectionate and never leaves your side but it took us a year to teach her to reverse and that if you throw a ball it doesn't just hang in the sky but will come down!

By the way what's a reefer, Bear? In England it's a cigarette with naughty tobacco in!!!!

I have learned a similar lesson Makka, our cat watching another outside on a windowsill and stupid me touching him...nasty bite on a thumb, got swollen and needed antibiotics, will never do that again!

Hope you'll heal real quick and since naughty tabbycats like all other cats have short memories, give him scritch under chin and he'll forgive you ;)

Yup, water is good. Used to have a Doberman and Shepherd but they did not get along. Once in a while they managed to find each other and then the fur flew and blood spurted! A dose of water shocks them enough (usually) to grab them.

I bought my wife a cat before she was my wife. It scratched my hand as I was moving it off the bed ... once. I think it must have decided to never do that again as it slid down the wall on the other side of the room, because it was a very pleasant animal from then on.
