MonaLou made it though, surgery and is home. She has three ten inch long incisions and her skin was pulled away from her body? and has two drains from the top of her back to her tummy. Her left eye has blood in the white part and they think it's from blunt force trauma and think it will resolve itself over time.
Neesaki, I was shaking so hard I couldn't get the gun safe open or I would of shot them. I had called DH and he made it from downtown Dallas home under fifteen minutes, called 911 again ( they said they hadn't received any calls. They'd asked my name, address, phone number and said they'd call animal control.) and told them to get the police here are he was going to shoot them. They asked if he had a gun, he said hell yes, get them here or I'll kill them ( told him to stay in the house, and it's illegal to fire a gun in the city limits; he said no you get a police officer now or I'm killing them.) and that they'd notified animal control and we should wait. No police,but animal control showed up and got the dogs as we were leaving for the emergency vet hospital.
The owners will get a citation, and their dogs will be released to them today. Since it was the "first time (that they know of) they'd attacked anyone or thing that is all they can do. We asked about the possibility of them attacking a child or anyone else, and again it was the first time and he'd seen several kids out playing and they didn't attack them. Don't know if anyone was out before they got to us and over the fence by the pasture (it's going to a six foot fence now), but we don't have kids in our neighborhood other than the new family with a two year old and a four month old, and they weren't home.
We have so many pitbulls to the north, south, and west of us; have never been comfortable with that fact, and them telling us that they are good dogs wouldn't hurt a fly, doesn't impress me much.
We're going to call their home owners insurance today and start a lawsuit, and I hope the insurance company tells them to get rid of them or they'll drop their insurance.
Unfortunately, we know the people, not a big fan of them,they let their son terrorize the neighborhood, and their son was a good friend of my nephew thirty years ago.
They live one block over and across the alley, all they had to do was walk five hundred feet, take a left turn and they were two houses down from ours. They went through their fence (a split three rail type) into the pasture and into ours.
When we got to the vet hospital they took Mona back, but told us we'd have to wait and in the mean while they wanted a hundred bucks before they started treatment, and would give us an estimate after the vet checked her over; kinda crappy and crass to us. Every penny of the thousand dollars final bill though. When we gt her home last night she wouldn't go out in the backyard. She took about ten steps looking around and wanted back in. So now my baby has PTSD
I know I'm rambling on, so please forgive me.
I'm so sorry to hear about your baby and hope she recovers quickly. Keep us posted with her recovery!
I took my baby to the vet last week and he did have a broken leg, but is now resting comfortably with a splint. Am so relieved I took him! Weekly visits to the vet for the next 5 weeks for check ups.

Hubby's been on the phone all day after talking to animal control (the people were there picking up their dogs at the time) and told him that one dog had tags and shots, but the other didn't and they issued eight citations today that are two thousand dollars, or they can go see the judge and see if they can get them reduced. So he spoke with the city manager and the head of animal control, no law to kill them,but we could of yesterday during and after the attack, no matter what the police say. They said that the people told them they we only visiting and the dogs got loose. BS they live there.
Ms, MonaLou was a very miserable girl last night,and us too. It was a very long night. We tried the crate, hoping it would help her rest, but that wasn't going to work. She kept getting her e collar undone, so we tried the bathroom and making her a nest. Nope we both were miserable, so I opened the door and she got on our bed, her favorite place, laid her head on DH and went to sleep. We couldn't sleep well,not wanting to roll over and hurt her. Today she's decided the best place to sleep is in my new chair in the living room.
This issue has been before the Texas Legislature several times,and voted down. I guess it would be different if one of their family had been attacked.
I think all dogs that attack should be chipped if they're not going to kill them, they should have to register the dog, like sex offenders, and post signs at their home or where the dog is, and be required to let their neighborhood know what is living around them.
So I guess we'll see them in court for the medical bills, and we'll be in court when they come before the judge with pictures and witnesses.
