Our dog Pepper, who is half Australian Cattle Dog and half fox terrier, herds the kids. Unfortunately, this means that when they are out of the house she always wants to know where they are. So she often escapes out the front door, especially when they are playing out front or away from home.
Today Heath had late start at school, which means that he was leaving for the bus stop at the same time our neighbor was walking her shepherd mix. Pepper bolted from the house to run up to the other dog. Unfortunately, this dog is more aggressive than Pepper, and Pepper got a nasty bite on the neck.
She'll be fine, but she had to have stitches. She has an unfortunate reaction to anesthetic, however, so we're hoping the entire evening won't be the doggy version of The Exorcist. And worse, we were picking her up when a lady was dropping of an entire family of kittens for adoption. So I'm guessing that if we have time in between Pepper's multiple medication doses, we'll be picking up two new additions tomorrow afternoon.
