I am glad that all of this has been resolved and it came out well. An owner whose dog attacks another should be willing to pay the vet bills - and being one of those owners I have always asked if the dog is okay and let them know how to reach me if something showed up later. Thank God,(knock on wood), Dazzi seems to have mellowed in the last couple of years and doesn't do this anymore). Dazzi is a great dog but there are some breeds she doesn't (didn't) like and she would go after them. In response to the golden owner who took his time to get to Spirit Wind's aid, I always start running at her to get her to stop. One time she did do damage to a cocker spaniel at the Bowling Green Dog Park - I gave the lady my name and number and she called and sent the vet bill to me. I quickly paid it. And just so none of you feel the need to ask why I took her to dog parks when she did attack some---we could take Dazzi 100 times to a dog park and she wouldn't pay attention to a dog but if a golden retriever, cocker spaniel or short haired german pointer came in off she went (usually not always). If I saw them coming I would leash her until she met them and I could tell how she was going to react to them and sometimes she had to stay leashed or in the time out cage while the other dog was at the dog park. But there were several occasions (as in the cocker spaniel one) she seemed to be okay with them and then they would do something 5 or 10 minutes later and off she went.

I have seen greyhounds get hurt and with their skin, it always seems worse and harder to heal. I hope all will be better with Giselle soon and yes you did the right thing.
