Our poor dog

So sad! While out on our evening walk last night, Reagan was bitten badly by a Rottweiler! We were walking in a neighborhood next to ours, and we (Reagan and I - Ben was not with us) had stopped to talk to some neighbors in front of a house. The owners of the house (not the people I was talking to) had their door open. People seemed to be kinda going in and out of their house - grown kids I think. Anyway, all of a sudden their giant dog flew out and targeted Reagan. He got her quickly and grabbed her front left leg and bit her. It was horrifying, particularly because it happened SO fast and truly without warning. We went to the ER last night and learned that the bone in her front left leg is completley broken. It looks like a broken twig whose pieces have been set a couple centimeters apart. Truly scary! She's in this giant cast now and she's on two pain medicines and an anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic. I think she's pretty uncomfortable but she's not squealing or anything. Hopefully we'll get her into surgery on Monday. She is one sad little thing and it was a loooong night - mostly because I kept replaying the entire incident in my head. We are thankful, however, because this could have been 100 times worse. I think we were lucky. And, timing-wise, this happened at a good time. I'm off all next week for Spring Break so I'll have time to take her to the vet and to monitor her. Here's a picture of the poor little thing last night...
