Peter and Sarah set off for normal "walkies" on Tues 29th Sept along King Road. What happened next is something we had always feared. A lady was putting out her garbage bin with her dog which ran across the road and latched onto Bella. Sarah had picked up Lucy. It was a savage attack and with Peter beating the dog with a big umbrella, Sarah kicking it and screaming it still would not let go of Bella. Neighbours came and eventually the owner came and took the dog with no apologies. I received a phone call from a very upset Sarah and went and picked them up. Bella was very sore, couldn't walk properly and bleeding. We phoned the vet and she advised us to take her in in the morning. We took her out to Harradines vet. They examined her and when the vet clipped her hair found a large wound that needed surgery. We Left Bella for the day and
She also has to take pain killers and antibiotics.
picked her up looking like this....
She had to be cut open and the wound cleaned, torn skin removed and flushed out. She had about 20 stitches and a drain put in under the skin for fluid and muck to come out....yucky!
She also has to take pain killers and antibiotics.Fast forward one week and she is now walking again and has had the drain removed but the stitches have to remain for another week and a half . The vets also discovered she has bladder stones and is also being treated for that.
The ranger has been very helpful and will present statements and evidence to the owners of the the dog and hopefully they will be fined and pay some of our large vet bills.
Sarah did some more sewing and made this little bag....
Mum J turned 81 on Sunday and we enjoyed pumpkin scones for afternoon tea...
Sarah was in her glory after being given a heap of "old" stuff and fabric from Nanna to sew with.....
When we got back from Busselton Sarah made us tea which was yummy Dahl and Chicken rice with papadums....
Today we went for a walk at the "Tuart Walk" to see if we could spot some spider orchards. Sarah managed to find the first ones...
And lastly a picture of Janelle at the Med Ball last Friday night at the Perth Convention Centre...
Sorted out a pattern she liked......
And sewed for hours.....
It is looking very good but she still has a while to go adding the borders, then quilting and binding the quilt. It keeps her busy!
And shopping for a new DVD recorder and finally settled on this Panasonic one.....
Jean and Gordon called in with birthday wishes and Jean gave me this card.......
Sarah set us up some drinks and nibbles.....
Sarah's bedroom stayed in this state most of the weekend after her dilemma of having nothing to wear on Friday night. She normally has her room very tidy....
We couldn't resist buying this Boronia plant, such a bright pink....
Then it was time for us to take Janelle back to Perth after a few days home on a study break. We took the dogs for a drive and walked them along the Matilda Bay foreshore up towards Nedlands and through UWA. There was a bit of sunshine about so lots of people were out enjoying themselves before another week of predicted rain.....
A chopstick fight over food.....
Still can't take her anywhere! .........
The owner of the restaurant came and gave us all a shoulder massage after our meal.....
It was a nice evening...
And always great to have all our girls in the car together......
Indulged in some yummy afternoon tea at Cafe Bean coffee shop....
Had to wear a tiara from Sarah while they sung Happy Birthday....
