FLORIDA -- Gratitude. Today is Teddy's 9th birthday. Ish. Lol. It's a day we didn't think he would see. But thanks to the folks at Ocean Breeze Animal Hospital and Animal Emergency and Referral Center he made it!
Today, he was attacked by a 100 lb pit bull while we were out walking. Owner negligence, not breed or temperament caused it. The dog escaped out of an open front door and charged us from about 150 yards away. Dan is pretty banged up from trying to separate the dogs.
And you know what? I am so grateful. Grateful that Grace wasn't with me. Grateful that I wasn't alone, since Dan rarely goes walking with me. And grateful that Dan was able to get he dogs apart before Teddy was hurt. By the Grace of God, Teddy wasn't hurt.
I swear, that dog has nine lives, and I'm so glad we get to be a part of some of them.
