Well it has been a while since the whole thing happened but evrything is turning out okay. We still have our dogs and so far all that has happened is the "victim" just wants our insurance to pay for the bills. Which are covered. But I'm still kinda in bad spot emotionally. I just wish I knew more about how the guy is doing. Well all I can do is keep praying and ask for all you ro pray for me ,too.  Thanks for all your responses and support.

Merry Christmas

Six days ago my dogs had escaped from the back yard. Someone had left the gate unlocked which was unknown to me. They apparently went after a small dog and his owner got bit trying to protect his dog. This man and his dog have a history of  nusance to the neighborhood and i have seen him purposely antagonize my dogs.

Anyways the man had two or three stitches on his elbow  and the dog had a couple cuts, but no more 2 days later the man was walking his dog by ours house. No apparent bandages or extreme physical damage to him or his dog.

Ofcourse I extremely concerned for him and whatever emotional trauma his has gotten, but this is extremely hard on me aswell. My dogs have had no history of violence or aggression towards anyone before, they love everyone especially children.

Now even after almost a week later they are still they gentle, loving animals I always known. I helped to deliver both of them, along with their siblings, and I have cared for them since.

I have no children, so its just me and my boyfriend and our pets, so we are very attached and spoil them, plus extremely protective of them. We were allowed to keep them after the incident, but we have yet to hear anything from the man that was bitten or the legal officials. We have been told they could be taken away or put down cause ohio has a zero tolerance law as far a dog bite. Also we could possibly loose our insurance coverage if we are allowed to keep them.

I didnot see the attack so I dont know what exactly happened as far as I know they were trying to be playing and got a little rough.

I have been in tears and emotional wreck since that day. I keep praying for God to help, but still cant help it. I find I cry at the drop of a hat lately. 

I feel anger at whoever left that damn gate open, concern for the man and his dog, and great sadness every time I look at  my dogs. I just wish it all could be over with, as they say the wait is the worst.

Sorry about the lengthy whine fest, I just needed to get it out there.
