Doggie Drama

Hi everyone! Hope all your Monday's went by smoothly!

I can't believe I actually am remembering to blog this week, hopefully I can keep this up. Well, for once there is big news to report that occurred last week. Unfortunately, our puppy Layla was attacked by another dog last week :( I was taking her on a walk through the neighborhood and another dog slipped out the door while it's owner was walking inside. The other dog went straight to Layla and immediately started attacking/biting her. After a lot of screaming, yelling and struggling to get Layla away and get the other dog off, I did manage to get a hold of it's collar and give it back to the owner. Poor Layla was left with about 15-20 puncture/bite wounds & scrapes, as well as had a chunk of her back leg ripped off. I thank God that none of her major arteries were affected and she didn't loose a lot of blood. She went to the animal ER that night where they cleaned her up, gave her some stitches and was prescribed pain meds/antibiotics.

Doesn't show all her wounds, but these are some of them

It was a long week getting all the legal things taken care of. But the county animal control is aware of the attack and will have it on record now. Layla is healing up well, her back leg seems much less tender/sore, all the wounds are scabbing up and her stitches come out Saturday. As for Andy and I, we're doin' okay as well. Layla is our baby and it was absolutely heartbreaking to see her so hurt. I know I will never get the images of another dog ripping up Layla's leg out of my head. But again, I just thank God that she'll heal up well and hopefully be good as new again! So if you read this and you live in our neighborhood, be careful!

Well in much happier news, it's basically fall!!!! I had a mini shopping spree for some fall decor for the house this weekend and the temperatures are dropping! We're supposed to get some rain here tonight and tomorrow and then it'll be in the 60s! YAY! While I do miss things about San Diego, I sure am happy we moved somewhere where I can enjoy the seasons. Andy's birthday and our 1st wedding anniversary are coming up in the next 2 weeks as well so it's just a fun time of year! Andy also has been playing for the hospital softball team a bit and he is loving that. There are also some AMAZING yoga workshops in Chicago that are coming up that I've been thinking of doing!

I know this was kind of a debbie downer post but I'll be back soon with more exciting updates :)
