[EVERYONE IS OK]
I just arrived home from running some errands, and opened the front door to find a significant amount of blood spattered in the hallway and loungeroom, all over the curtain and front window, and floors. There were dog foot prints through it all.
My first thought was that Poppy had gotten the cat.. they have a tentative truce, largely because Poppy is terrified of Lilith (who is tiny, but her name absolutely fucking fits!) and usually freezes, stares, and trembles if she catches sight of Lily. So I threw the dogs outside, grabbed the flashlight and started looking everywhere for Lilith.. to finally find her sitting in the cat hide on my housemate's desk, half asleep and judgingly watching whatever nonsense I was up to.
The guinea pig is fine, and completely unreachable.
Both dogs seem totally OK.. not nicks, scratches, marks. No blood anywhere on their bodies or fur. I guess they could have tussled and one of them might have a bit tongue or lip that I can't see bleeding.. but their mannerisms around each other are completely normal as well, which is the weird part. When they've had a bit of a scuffle in the past (they've only been together 6 months, and they're both rescue dogs with the trauma associated with that), they've been stand-offish with each other for a couple of days afterwards.
I have no idea what's going on. And honestly, I'm wondering if someone got into the house and was chased out after being bitten.. because that seems more likely than anything else at the moment.
