Sharing a story.

 I have to share of what happened to Redford on Memorial day---we were walking in the park where we live and Redford was attacked by a pit bull that had gotten away from the owner. Thankfully Rosie was home so she was not involved. The owner finally got control of the dog, but not after it had done big damage to Redford, mostly to his jaw and mouth. The owner gave me a FAKE name and phone number, but only by the quick thinking of a neighbor who got some photos of the owner and dog, we were able to identify the owner via posting on social media. 
 
Redford had to spend 2 days and nights at the Pet ER and then was transferred to a canine dental specialist for surgery to repair his jaw and teeth. He is home now, with a splint in his mouth and he will need at least one more surgery. Getting all this care paid for by the responsible party will be a long process.
 
He is doing ok, not liking the cone that must stay on and not liking the mush I have to feed him, and he wants some treats too, which he cannot have! He's on 14 pills a day for pain and prevention of infection. Poor Redford. But at least he will recover and for that I am grateful.
 

I will spare you the gross photos of the 
inside of his mouth, but this is him 
 and the mouth injury at the ER. (Darn 
huskies smile through everything!)

 
Sleeping with Lambchop helps!

But sleeping with Rosie is better!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Oh no! We are so sorry to hear this, Redford. We are glad someone got the person's name for that Dog who shouldn't have been in a place where he could do that to you. We hope you heal quickly!
