something BAD just happened to my little girl

[SJK1113]

I'm so sorry for what happened to Sadie, and it must have scared you to death! I'm glad you took her to the vet, and I'm glad she's okay. I'll remember her in my prayers that she will be totally fine in no time.

Please please mention to animal control that this dog killed another dog (if indeed that story is true, you know how neighbors sometimes gossip ). If their dog did kill another dog, and they were trying to pass it off as a "nice" dog, they were irresponsible and negligent as dog owners not to be honest with you.

And my hubby thinks I'm a little too overprotective of my little guy. Ha!

I just saw this. What an awful thing to happen to your precious Sadie. I pray that she's ok. You did the right thing by taking her in as soon as you did.
Please don't let this keep you from coming to Yorkie Fair. If Sadie's ok to come, it would be wonderful to meet you both.

Glad things seem to be going fine.Will keep thinking and praying until she recovers

Wow--people are amazingly frustrating aren't they?

When my son was little I wanted to get him a dog as he was an only child.

He was a typical boy--all ruff and tumble--so I wanted a dog that would roll with that.

I found a cross---border collie/yellow lab. Both pure and owned by the family.

I started training him the minute he was in the door. Squashed every attempt to use his mouth on me and started right in on, sit, down, up and stay.

He was socialised at every op--ball games, etc---whereever there were kids.

He is 13 now and still the most well behaved dog---you should see this big wieny with Milo when my son visits.

However---if he had ever shown any signs of aggression towards children or other animals---he'd have been gone.

Pets are still animals and always hold an element of unpredictibility.

Sound harsh?

I lived in a very tight knit cul de sac and my yard was always full of kids.

I could not have lived with myself if anything had happened to someone elses baby-- furry or with skin.

Milo has been socialised at every turn as well------we got lucky though, his natural tendancy---he loves everybody and everything--furry or with skin.

Hope those people never have kids.

*rant over*

I am so sorry!! I am petrified of larger dogs around mine. He is a little thing but provokes them by growling etc. He really thinks he's a large dog. Best to keep him clearly away.

I am glad she is okay

i have a couple of friends who have large dogs that live with yorkies and other small terriers. ive known them forever and know the dogs so i let my pup say hi and play with them. they have a great time and the big dogs are very well trained and know to always be gentle. but i wouldnt trust just any dog, big or small. A yorkie in my neighborhood was attacked while walking by another persons COCKER SPANIEL who he thought "didnt need a leash"..

You must have been frantic I know I would have, It is one of our main fears when we go for a walk, You should carry a stick most of the time all you have to do is show it to a big dog.Personaly i would not hesitate to whack a big dog on the head if it hurt one of my girls. I hope your baby is ok now.

We have to keep an eye (or two) on her for the next couple of day, they said she could have more head trauma (brain swelling) that we can't see. This would caused by the shaking. But so far she does not show any signs of these The Vet also said that her top-not may have been what saved her. I had mention to the Vet. that I didn't know what to do, said if these should ever happen again kick the dog as hard as you can under the chin. I asked if this would kill the dog, she said no, it would take it's wind way. (I still would be afraid, I'd miss, it would bit me, I don't know)But it's good info. to have. I did call animal control, had to leave a message, Hope they call back first thing in the A.M (or I will call again) I went to the Huskies house after we got home, there was nobody there. So I spoke to the neighbor, they said that they had heard that this "nice" dog has actually killed another dog. I'm so thankful that it seems that she will be ok. I will get some Pic. of Sadie out tomorrow so you guys can see her little head. It won't be until the late afternoon, but I will let you see her little head. We had planned to go the Yorkie Fair, but with her little head looking a mess I'm not sure now.Thank you all for you prayers and thoughts, It has helped a lot!!!!
I will up-date again tomorrow afternoon. Let's all hope (pray) for a good night.

Thanks again!!!!!!!
Amy & Sadie

So glad to hear that she's okay. If she's feeling up to it, go to the fair! She'll be safe around other yorkies and you both need some positive experiences around other furkids right now!

[Ozzie'sperson]

Glad to hear that perhaps a bald head might be the worst of it for your little one. That had to be one horrible experience for both of you.

Hoping all remains well!

[TinyBit]

OMG You had to be so scared. I am so glad she is ok.

[Pipersmommy]

Praying for a total recovery for Sadie. If their dog killed another & attacked little Sadie I would be contacting animal control. I'd also be billing the neighbors for the vet bills. They need to know their dog is dangerous, even if they think it's not.

[ARCHIE]

I couldn't wait to get on here this am and check on Sadie.
Thank heavens she is ok. I hope you both had an uneventfull
night and got a good nights sleep.
Look forward to reading how things went.
Hand that vet bill right over to the owners of the dog and contact
animal control if you don't hear back from them.
You could save another's life.

Hugs to Sadie,

I hope she has no further problems. Good luck to you both. Be sure to re-contact Animal Control if you don't hear from them. You may save someone else from a broken heart.

I am so glad she survived the attack but so sorry she has injuries. I'm so scared to trust what people say about their dogs.........oh they won't bite or hurt.............yea, well, each dog has a scent and it may just be the scent that turns that nice dog into an attacker. I hope all turns out well for your little Sadie!!!

[Rae Rae]

OMG how scary! I'm glad there were no puncture wounds. Tell your baby Rocky and I are thinking of her.
