OMD--It happened to Rosco and Boca!

So there I was out in the yard, the kids playing on their swing set, when suddenly what was innocent rough wrestling by Rosco and Boca turned into something that didn't seem right. It got more vicious and I heard yelping...franticness. It looked like Rosco (i'm guessing) somehow got stuck in his grip on Boca's collar. Or vice versa, but I think it was Rosco. In any case it scared the carp outta me because I realized there was nothing I could do to get them apart as I got close. They were wiggling too fast and I couldn't even tell who or what to grab! I went to the hose in case a hose down would help them forget the current freak out and then thank God, they broke free. But the hose did come in handy because the moment they broke free they were still riled up and kinda angry toward each other. So I aimed their way and they separated to get away from the water. PHEW! Rosco had a bloody nose but wouldn't let me get near. Otherwise they both seemed fine and are friends again. No lasting damage, but I have Boca's collar off right now--which I'm conflicted about.

You're probably wondering..."CONFLICTED ABOUT WHAT? KEEP THE DANG COLLAR OFF...DON'T YOU SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN??" Yes, yes, I totally get that, but in the 6 years I've had dogs this has never before happened so I can only imagine it may never happen again. However, the chance of my dog needing to be detained by the collar or the collar needing to be looked at should they ever get loose is far more likely to happen. Anyway, it was scary!
