Dog Attack: One Week Later

Second post of the day; I thought you  might like an update on Nash and Lisa. (While present during the attacks, Molly was ignored by the attacking dog.)

It was a week ago this evening that the dog attack happened. It's been a long week, but Lisa and Nash are healing. 

While the shirt is to keep him from licking his woulds, it also keeps them out of sight for me. I get pretty upset when I see them - poor guy!

Nash has not felt well, despite the pain meds and antibiotics, and he's spent a lot of time resting. This is SO not our bouncy, happy, goofy boy.

Lisa went back to work on Thursday, and so Craig and I watched Nash and Molly while she was at school. They came over Friday, too; none of us feel good about leaving Nashie home alone yet.

I moved Pepper's upstairs bed to the top of the stairs for him. That's his favorite spot in our home - he can watch the world go by through the windows in the living room and over the front door and then go blazing down the stairs to bark at the door should UPS or Fed Ex drop something off.

It took Lisa all week to feel up to walking the dogs again - not only is she hurt (and finding masses of bruises that have popped up on her arms and legs), but she is also concerned about being attacked again. (Can't say I blame her.)

Saturday she drove out to a rural school near her home, checked the grounds to be sure that no other dogs were around, and then took Molly and Nash for a walk. 

It was a baby step in the healing process, but it was still a step forward for them all.

And for those of you wondering about how Molly is faring, she shows no signs of trauma, fear, or anxiety. Since she is a rescue with a long history of fears and anxiety, we are surprised at this, but pleased that she is doing so well.
