It's raining now.
I went out around 10am to clear the snow and ended up coming in after it was almost finished.....the belt broke on the snowthrower.
MrsD was out walking the dogs, and all of a sudden my kids are coming in the house with the dogs and no MrsD.
Me: "What happened? Where's Mommy?"
Them; "Mommy and the dogs got attacked by another dog!! The cops just left and Animal Control has the dog that attacked them."
MrsD is unhurt, but very traumatized. The dog knocked her down to the ground in the snow and then went after Lilah and Eden-puppy
Lilah has a nasty ear wound...torn lob....base of the ear next to her head...
....and is VERY VERY traumatized.
Puppy Eden is unscathed and was rescued by a neighbor.
It took three people to pull the dog off of them.
One guy was hitting it with a snow-shovel, and it still kept attacking!!!!
The cop that lives down the block came down and knocked on our door and said he would takeMrsD and Lilah to his vet in his SUV. The roads are treacherous, andhe thought it would be a good idea instead of taking my itsy-bitsy car. Plus, none of the vets in the area were in because of the snow. He had called his vet to make sure he was in and told them to be expecting us. Gosh, it's good to have good neighbors!!!
In fact, the one who first came to her rescue is a lady we haven't gotten along with for the last 10 years......that may have all been forgotten as of today though. She's the one that scooped Eden up before the dog got at her.
The owner of the loose dog called to apologize and see if everyone was okay. Nobody seems to know how she got loose.
His dog is up to date on her shots, but had been attacked 3 weeks ago by another dog. Probably why she went after Lilah.
We told him that we would be giving him the vet bill to pay.....it only came to $82.
Lilah got a shot of antibiotics and some orals to take. The vet told us not to clean the wound and let it scab over. He didn't clean it at the office either, which I think they should have.... but I'll trust them for now. It was a pretty clean tear, so we'll keep a close eye on it.
It's been quite a day!!
MrsD is upstairs right now trying to coax Lilah out of the bathroom. She's such a good dog....this should not have happened to her. My heart is hurting for her right now.
Well...the snowplows just scraped up the slush from the last block and a half and dumped it in front of my driveway! Why do they do that??!!??
I better go out and shovel it out before it freezes tonight. On the other hand....I really don't need to go out tomorrow.
Hmmmmm....beer?....shovel?....beer?....shovel?....
