My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Oh noooo, I am so sorry. How absolutely awful. And so close on the heels of the terrible attack on Chevy too! Sending very good thoughts to Leah for speedy healing. She is one of my favorites since both she and Beth are in the missing-toe club.

Hawthorn Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 What a nightmare for both of you . I hope Leah heals quickly and won't be too traumatized. Will you be able to avoid walking past that house in the future? Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombrie Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) I'm so sorry this happened. I think that would make a dog even without anxiety issues fearful. She is definitely in my thoughts for an easy. quick, and uneventful recovery. Poor thing.As for the ACE, I was told to give it to Minerva after her spay (now what I know about it, I have no idea why they wanted me to give it to her) I only gave her one dose and stopped it. It made her so dopey, she couldn't find her feet, and she actually snapped at me when she was sitting next to me while she was sitting up wide awake, it was like she forgot where she was and who I was. It was the one and only time she has ever snapped at me. I will never give that drug to her again Edited April 5, 2013 by zombrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest desertlady Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm so sorry to hear about the attack on Leah. Things like this just turn my stomach! Of course it always reminds me of when BlueBaby was injured so badly. Many many prayers and healing thoughts go your way for you, Leah, and Jimmie. I have Metcalm and Tramadol if you need pain meds.

Houndtime Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I used to say that this was my nightmare and then it happened to us. I am so sorry that Leah is hurt and I agree, our sweet dogs don't deserve this kind of attack. Paul never fought back against the yorkie. Now, the people refuse to pay our veterinary expenses and we will have to take them to court.

duncan41 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Damn. I am so sorry this happened to Leah and you, Jody. At least there were witnesses and law enforcement follow up; much more than most experience. For all those who have participated in discussions regarding what you would do in this situation, please read Jody's description of what happened and look at the pictures. She was ready, she was armed and she had been through near-misses before. It just never happens as you think it will. It's worse than you can imagine. Sending healing white light and hugs of comfort.

HoundHeavenAZ Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thank you all so much. Today she's just completely miserable. The drain scares her, the wind is scaring her, she won't eat or drink much. She's had her tramadol, metacam, amoxy. She naps intermittently and then comes for hugs and I take her back and pet her till she rests again. I'm sending frequent photos and updates to our vet, we may go in for an IV later. The seeping and mild bleeding is to be expected. I'm not in a rush to pick up prescriptions so I still haven't discovered the anxiety pills name. Thank you all so much for the responses regarding that. the collection of photos are here. Jimmie is holding his own and being a very good and loving brother. just heard from the vet, we're heading over there now. thank you all so much. hug your hounds...

deboosh Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 What a terrible ordeal; it's THE nightmare all dog owners hope they will never have to go through. I am so sorry for both you and your baby girl. I will pray she heals quickly, both physically and emotionally. I walk my girl muzzled, as she is not small dog friendly; but your story has persuaded me to think proactively. I can't tell you how many times we've encountered off-leash dogs. Sometimes there are multiple occurrences during one walk. The risk of attack is just to high to justify use of a muzzle. It makes me so angry that some dog owners feel they are exempt from leash laws. The senseless attack your Leah endured would not have happened had that dirtbag neighbour just tethered his dog. The fact that this is even a issue is ridiculous! Thank you for posting your experience; no doubt it's given many of us pause for thought. Again, I'm so sorry for you and your Leah. Please give her many of these from me. Quote Image removed, not within Signature Guidelines.
