Still shaking....Update on Goof page 5

[Catty1]

I was thinking about you trying to explain things to Adrian.

The analogy I was thinking of is kind of like 'well, like on the news when people don't raise their kids right, and the kids are bad - that happens when people don't raise their animals right."

How about that magic word MEDIA? Congressman?

I wonder if one pit fighter out there will rap on the rest?

I am glad Goofy will be ok. And Adrian too.

Good sign that you are getting to the p***** off stage.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

Gawd... I almost stopped reading this post. Been there, as you know. I, like you, do not have a grudge against the breed (that attacked me), or the breed I was puppysitting (poor defenseless baby). I blame the owner. A simple giving a crap about your fence and land and training with love, instead of slaps, would have prevented a life altering event.

Adrian must be told he's a hero for saving Goofy. Sometimes it's necessary to use force to save the life of those we love. Injuries may heal, but the mental and emotional part will take time. If the pit was used to fighting, it may have seen Goof as "prey" which is why it attacked. Adrian did nothing wrong and everything right and he's a true loving young man with a heart of gold with Goof as a lifelong, grateful friend.

Please give the Brave One a huge hug for me and gentle caresses to Goof when he comes home.

Kym..I have a great lawyer...

Thank you all so much,
Goofy will be home this evening, Adrian has decided to stay home today, he found out that novocaine, or lidocaine whichever they used DOES wear off!
His calf is sore but not awful, and I truly think he just doesn't want all the questions from the neighbor kids.
Besides as the lousy mom I am 9according to his sister ) having him home with the area elevated makes me feel better at least for today.

He spoke with our vet with me this morning at 7 and started to cry, I don't think he knew Goofy had gotten really hurt till he spoke with Steve, who told him that he and Goof will heal up together just fine now. Steve told him also the same things all of us here at PT and home have told him, that what he did was brave, that he stood by a friend in need, that he did all the right things. He also told Adrian that many many good dogs are the victim of bad owners, and not to worry about the pup, he will personally take a look at the pup while it is in quarantine.

I havent told Adrian about his next set of shots ......there are no vaccinations on this dog. I will tell him. Just not right now. Right now I am going to let one thing after another sink in, then I will tell him about the preventative shots he will be getting.

Oh my Gawd!
The entire thing is so horrible for all involved! (minus the stupid owner )
I'm so glad to hear both are doing well and are going to be okay.

Was the pup that did this a female? (Sorry if this has been answered already) If it was a female maybe she was over at the house to breed I know she's only a pup... but we all know how &$#@(%^ stupid some people are.

I'm so sorry for Adrian and Goofy. I hope they heal soon. *HUGS*

[Daisy and Delilah]

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} for everybody involved. I'm sorry to hear about this Kym. I hope your neighbor gets busted soon-it sounds like he needs an "awakening" real soon

The pup is female , however so is Goofy. and Quoia both neutered bitches, and Rusty is a nuetered male and he was not even around as he was down stairs in Dad's office.

Oh Gee Kym, I'm soooo devastated after reading this thread!!!

However, I'm thank-ful that Goofball is being looked after so well and that Adrian is taking his injury in stride~

His quick and courageous response proved to make all the difference in the world.

I'm sorry you have such irresponsible neighbors and I hope and pray that this never happens to anyone , ever again!!!!!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Your son is a PT hero for what he did to help Goofy. I hope they both make a speedy recovery.

As for the "other lot" you don't owe them any favours - do all you can to stop the next attack happening, for the dogs sake and for that of their next victim

I meant maybe the female (that does not belong to him) was at his house to breed to one of his dogs.

I read thru this about a half hour ago and had to go away and get rid of my tears and anger before I replied. I am so very, very glad that your son and Goof are going to be ok physically. I am sure this is something neither of them will forget. I hope something can be done about your idiot neighbor and his dogs. He doesn't deserve to have them. They are being mistreated and should be taken away before any more harm comes to them or they harm anyone else. As others have said, your son was more than brave, he saved a life, he deserves congratulations and loads of hugs for that.

[elizabethann]

OMG. What a past few days you've had! I am sending you a hug right now. I hope your son is feeling better (and Goofy too).

Your neighbors need a swift kick in the a$$. I'd be more than happy to do it for you! I hate irresponsible people and these people sound irresponsible. What are they doing with so many dogs?! Sounds pretty fishy if you ask me. Have you contacted your local SPCA? They may want to get involved. Sorry if this has been answered. I'm at work and am typing this very fast.

Take care!

[DrKym]

Sorry I mis read that I thought you meant maybe she was in heat and looking for a BF. I apologize.

I would assume she was there for that , or for training.

Those poor dogs won't have a chance, their owners sealed their fates.

[Blue_Frog]

Aww Kym, this is just awful -- poor AJ and Goofy - hugs all around for a speedy recovery! I seriously hope that neighbour gets whats coming to him, and the dogs get taken away.

And poor AJ ... something else to look forward to

I havent told Adrian about his next set of shots ......there are no vaccinations on this dog. I will tell him. Just not right now. Right now I am going to let one thing after another sink in, then I will tell him about the preventative shots he will be getting.
