All the best to you all and a special scratch around the ears for Riddy.

Dawn was able to break : away and bolt for home; Riddy and I weren't so lucky. I'll spare you the : gory details, but Riddy was injured pretty badly and required emergency : surgery to patch him up. While trying to break his hold on Riddy during the : attack, I was bitten on the hand by the largest of the two Rottweilers. My : injuries are not serious, but will require me to go through the series of 5 : rabies shots, beginning on Monday [they are no longer the painful shots : through the abdomen]. : : We do not know the Rottweilers and the best suspect in the case is denying : to Montgomery County Animal Control that his two animals got out. We spent : all of Friday getting the two of us through medical treatment and much of : yesterday trying to locate the Rottweilers, to no avail. : : To keep this on topic, I *did* take photos of our injuries to keep as : evidence, plus a couple of Riddy as they were working on him, but think : they'll be too ghastly to post. : : /Mitch : _________________________________________ : Mitch Zeissler : E-mail: zeissler@directvinternet.com : : : -- : To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html : - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
