Goodish news...

...My dad is home, and wrapped up in a black satin sling my mom made for him. He's got 42 stitches, a bone fragment and/or a tooth imbedded somewhere, and enough antibiotics to knock out a cow...

It took forever to find an official who was willing to help them, but they finally got a guy whose own child was mauled by a dog and was sympathetic. People are working on it, but the dog has still not been removed from this guy's property. (I know what you're thinking, and I'm thinking it too: This should be a no-brainer. Dog bites, get it impounded, check for rabies! Sadly in parts of Missouri this is not the case....)

I'm having a quiet night, just so very glad Dad's going to be okay.

I'm a grateful Maus.

Yep, and it is a shame that the dog will likely end up being destroyed because of the owners idiocy, but there's not a lot that can be done when a dog is full grown and has that level of agression. A rotweiler rescue group might be able to manage a to undo the damage, but it's unlikely.

Sad but true...Once a dog starts to bite and isn't taught not to, it's really hard to make it stop. I feel bad for the dog; rottweilers aren't bad dogs, it was that horrible man that taught him biting was okay:(

The sad thing is I've been looking twice at large dogs today..and I love them; been raised with them all my life. Now I look and think of my dad for a minute. But just a minute. I'm sure finding a couple of nice neighborhood dogs to pat will cure all that.
