Wounded


Abby had a rough day.  During my second to last PE class yesterday, I received a text from Troy saying Abby is now missing part of her ear. Scenarios that would leave my dog deformed rushed my mind as I responded with a simple "how?" Apparently while on their daily run, Troy, Abby and Shady had a less than pleasant encounter with an unleashed German Shepherd. The dog darted at Abby and seeing the crime taking place, Shady stepped up to defend her buddy. After the scuffle was over, Abby came out looking like Evander Holyfield and Shady received a cut across the chin. The tears immediately started to flow when I saw the poor thing, blood soaked and whimpering, in the laundry room. My initial reaction was to march over to the neighboring house and give the alleged owners a piece of my mind (by the way, I don't know how moms do it. I was insanely angry last night over my dog. Jeez, I can't imagine if my child was hurt), but after taking an hour or two to calm down, I realized the better, and more anonymous, approach would be to call Animal Control. Hopefully that is the last time we see that dog.
