Thanks so much everyone
I just cried through half my workout, but it felt good. Odd sensation, though! Dd is actually doing pretty well. Dh took the day off of work, and took the kids to Costco to get their minds off of things and get some special (junk) food. Honestly, I will be surprised if dd isn't asking for a Chihuahua in a week or less. Kids are pretty resilient that way.
*more details- skip it if you're sensitive*
The dog that attacked her has been chasing my cats for months. We get a lot of stray animals in our area (people think that they can just release their unwanted pets into the desert, and they will survive). At one point, we thought a neighbor adopted it. Either it got loose, or it's stray again. It's a small dog- not much bigger than the cat, so it could squeeze under a fence easily. Luckily, the kids didn't see any of it. I woke them up to let them say goodbye (she was all wrapped up in a towel) and bury her in the backyard. She's much better off where she is- she was in pain and could not move her back end at all. Not that it makes if any easier.
