I'm so upset and angry--probably more at myself than anyone, but ignoring my instincts--WHICH I WILL NEVER-EVER DO AGAIN--at neighbor's request I held Piper toward his "friendly" Akita on the other side of fence. And that damned dog grabbed her! It happened in a nano second and I'm not sure exactly what transpired, but I grabbed back, got Piper and then he went for her again. This time owner got hold of his dog.

Piper is shaken, as I can well understand, but not a scratch on her, thank God in Heaven above. I'm very shaken, as well, and so damned mad at myself that I let Pipe down. My instincts said we were close enough, but being "neighborly", I almost got her killed. It was truly horrible and Akita is big and Piper so little and he had her--just for a second, but he had her and any longer you could absolutely see that he would have killed her in, literally, a second.


I will never-ever again ignore my instincts when it comes to Piper. This is a lesson hard-learned, but ingrained, I think, in my very soul. Again, the speed in which this dog had Piper is almost beyond comprehension.

I thank God for saving Piper, and thus me; the above is yet another reason that I believe in God and His miracles. Because, to me, it is truly miraculous Piper is laying, unscathed, on the couch next to me.
