Anna, I hope you are feeling better today. That was a very scary occurance and your leg certainly looks awful and I am sure feels extremely awful and unfortunately will for some time to come.

As Amy has said, my dogs will get into fights over food and the boys (Jack and Taggert) over rawhide. And I always gone in to part them and I have gotten bit a time or two. Not nearly as bad as Anna. The dog who has given me the most wounds was Oreo - the smallest dog we have had except Pippi. When she got into a fight, she would not let go of the other dog and if you came between her and the other dog, you would get bit not because she was upset with you for trying to stop the fight but because she was still trying to get the dog and your hand (or whatever) got in the way. It was not an attack it was like you hitting your thumb when you are hammering. You did not mean to hit your thumb but you came between the two objects. And of course it is worse when all 3 objects are moving. Oreo did not like to be made to do anything so if you tried to force her, she would bite you - a totally different thing than when she was in the middle of a dog fight. (Not that the pain is any different but the intent was different - in the dog fight she was trying to bite the other dog and I got my hand in the way and got the bite instead.)

We have been feeding the dogs in their kennels for awhile now because Snoopy is eating a different food from the rest. And they want his which is funny because he would rather have theirs. Four of the dog kennels are in the family room - Pippi's is in the dining room. Snoopy being the demanding dog he is now won't eat if I don't stay in the family room with him. So I have been bringing Pippi's bowl into the family room. I didn't lock kennels just put them in them. Dazzi nor Pippi had never acted food aggressive before. But Dazzi ate hers, came over to me on the couch where Pippi was laying on me rather than eating and sniffed at Pippi's food - and faster than I could wink they were all over each other. Dazzi can be very aggressive when she gets angry - she weighs about 40 lbs to Pippi's 18. The way they were going after each other I was sure there would be major damage. And Pippi is strong for a dog her size. I could not get them apart. I could have easily been bit by either one trying to pull them apart but Carl came out and helped pull them apart. The reason I am sharing this story is now I do lock the kennels most times. But since that time neither dog have reacted to the other coming near their food dish since then. We can't know why one time a dog will fight over something and the next time not. But for everyone's safety, it is much smarter to lock the kennels rather than "tempt" the dogs.

and healing for everyone. Take care of yourself & hope you start to feel
better soon. (((HUGS))) Liz.

Anna, I too, hope you are at least comfortable today. Take good care of yourself.

[Kfamr]

Anna, I am thinking of you as well. Hope the pain resides soon and you're feeling a bit better about the situation.

More {{HUGS}} to you and sweet Bon boy.

I just called Anna and talked for a short minute. She said she's fine and sounded like she's in good spirits b/c
.

ROBIN came to VISIT her!

I almost squealed in delight!
She said she'd call me later in the day or tomorrow.
She said she's not going anywhere.
If I didn't have plans for the evening I'd be hopping in the car to join them!

[Cincy'sMom]

What a great update Staci!!! Have fun Robin and Anna!!!

[Kfamr]

Glad they are having fun today! Wish I lived a bit closer.

Hello Everyone! This is Robin.

Yep, I'm here with Anna. I saw her post yesterday while I was at work and had to call her right away. I told her that maybe I would surprise her and show up at her house one day this weekend. I knew that she wouldn't believe me so I did indeed surprise her. I called earlier today to see how she was and if it would be alright if I came to visit and she said sure, what time will you be here and I said in about 5 minutes, oh no, I'm turning on your road right now...hehehe...I think I surprised her! I mean the girl is still in her pjs! I guess just because she is wounded she thinks she doesn't have to get dressed for me .

Let me tell you that I can't believe the beating her poor leg took. The bruising is just absolutely awful. She has to be in a lot of pain. No way would Bon ever do that on purpose or intentionally try to harm her. He is an animal, a dog and something like this could happen to anyone of us.

I am thrilled to be here. I haven't seen Anna and Mark for so long. The furkids still even remember me and seemed thrilled that I was here. The pups are all so sweet and I just sat right down on the floor and let them roll all over me. I wish you all could meet Bon in person. He is such a super sweetie! He laid right beside me and flopped his big ol head right in my lap.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm here and so happy to be with my wonderful friends!!!!

I just wanted to come back and tell Staci that I wish she could have come also!

[Kfamr]

Love the photos, Robin! You look GREAT!!!

Really, I wish everyone could meet Bon too. He really is a big ole goofy boy like I said before.


Robin, anytime you wanna surprise me at home I am game.

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh, I am so glad you went to visit. I think Bon is a handsome guy and I would love to give him a big hug (jealous of Robin) too!!
I was beginning to worry when we didn't see a post from Anna, but it's great to see all the doggies looking so happy.

[lizbud]

Oh man, I wish I lived closer. Thanks for the uppie date Robin. I'm so
glad you got to visit.Great pictures of the furry kids. Please give Anna a healing hug from me, ok?

p.s. Robin, you are looking wonderful. What's your secret?

[joycenalex]

robin, it's great to see you. welcome back and don't be a stranger.

[dukedogsmom]

Robin, I'm so glad you could be with Anna. I think you both need each other right now. So cheer each other up, ok? I still can't believe how big Bon is now. Since you posted yours with him, I thought I'd show everyone how small he used to be. Here you are with Duke and Bon when I visited.

Anna, I hope things are much better today. You have our support here and things will get better.

[4 Dog Mother]

Robin, I am so glad you went to see Anna today. I am sure it made both of you feel better. Surprise visits from friends when you are feeling bad are a gift from God.

Sometimes after my dogs get into terrible fights I fear how they will behave with each other later. But they seem to act like nothing happened - they are still each part of our familly

Hope your leg continues to heal and quickly.
