I have been following this thread, but I haven't responded because I really do not know what to say. What a horrible situation for everyone. Poor Tikeya, I still remember the pictures from the last attack and the thought of her being swung around by the neck for 15 minutes this time just makes me sick. I am sure that it was even worse for you to have witnessed it. And of course your mother getting bit is awful and scary. I am just sorry.
