Dear AR Friends,
My dog Buddy and I were attacked by 2 pit bulls last week while walking in my neighborhood. I only noticed them a split second before they jumped on me and took me to the ground. (I was holding my dog in my arms at the time.) I sustained lacerations and bruises. Buddy ran, so they lost interest in me as I lay on the ground screaming, and they went after him. That is probably what saved my life, but the poor little guy (my cockapoo) sustained serious injuries.
By some miracle, my dog survived an interminable and vicious attack by the two dogs, whose only mission was to kill. No one could pull them off until their owner finally came out. Even he had a hard time controlling them. This is not a comment on the breed, but rather on those two specific, vicious animals. I have since learned that the dogs have attacked before. Several of the neighbors who tried to help are traumatized as well. The neighbors are addressing the issue with animal services and helping us as we recover.
I will not be on AR for awhile, other than to say Merry Christmas. I don't have the energy to put together my usual Blooper Blog, but I will continue to collect the best ones. Once I find my sense of humor again, I will be back. And please forgive me, as I probably will not respond to your posts, as I can't focus right now. The face will heal, and the leg and hip will, too; and hopefully, the trauma will pass soon. Most importantly, Buddy is getting better every day. Until then, please be safe.
Love and blessings to you all. - Gwen
