Sad day for Millie

We started off Friday as we start off most days with a nice long walk for Millie.  She loves prancing around and visiting new towns.  

Starting off our walk I was greeted by this sign - you may need to zoom in on that sign a bit:

  

As a former Geometry teacher - my poor brain was hurting.  Reminds me of the draft pick who famously told the press that he looked forward to being a part of a big transformation of his new team and "changing its direction 360 degrees." Sometimes finding material for the blog is hard to find - sometimes it just jumps out and grabs you. 

Sadly, the walk that started with a bit of levity quickly turned sour.  Chrisy and I were walking Millie in a neighborhood when out of nowhere Millie was attacked by a pit bull.  The dog grabbed Millie on two separate occasions creating rather large lacerations on her back and chest. Chrisy was thrown on her back injuring her bum, elbow, and calf - hopefully no whiplash, but we will see. I dove into the mess and banged up my shoulder and hip but not too badly.  

Just at the height of the chaos, we were greeted by a guardian angel who rushed home to get his car and take us across the island to an emergency vet hospital where we were met by several other angels who took exceptional care of Mille.  We've got plenty of pictures but there's no need to share them.  As I type, Millie is resting comfortably at the Vet, and we will hopefully pick her up in the morning, or we might delay our departure for a day or more. We've also had a very nice call from the doctor, and we feel great that she's in such good hands.
