I'm sorry, don't go!

After they ate their dinner, they played and fought over the chew bones. At one point, Ando jumped up on the couch, laid down and smugly chewed on the toy bone. Hiro was upset at this, so he started jumping at Ando and barking as if to tell Ando to give him the bone. Every once in a while, Ando would growl back. Hiro started going ballistic with the barking! Maro stood on her back legs and got in between them. She faced Ando and was nudging him as if to tell him to give the bone to Hiro to play with.
Maro the Mediator.

Sometime later, while my back was turned, I heard snarling. Ando was on his back with his paws out in defense mode, while Maro was bearing down on him and viciously snapping back at him. It got really ugly! Maro did not want to mess around. I put Maro in her crate, and Ando snuck under the protection of the chair. He looked kinda scared, so I put him in his crate, too.

Ando was due to get his stitches removed today. Dustin came home while I was putting on Ando's harness. While walking towards the door, Maro was screaming bloody murder! She was hysterical. When we got to the car, we heard a loud thump at the door. We were like, what the heck was that?! We turned around and saw this black and white face looking through the glass.. it was Maro! So got out of the crate, and was seeing where we were taking Ando. Her Dad put her back up while I sat in the car. I could still hear her piercing cries; we've never heard that from her. It seemed like she was telling Ando she was sorry and that we shouldn't take him away.

I'M SORRY!

That's either one SAD face...or MAD face.
