A painful recovery and a growing girl

Sorry, for the lack of updates. Bailey our dog got attacked by a couple of pit bulls on September 6th, so we have busy trying to make him better and taking care of Avery. Thankfully Bailey is alive, though he is very, very lucky to be.

He has about 8 puncture wounds over his whole body, literally from head to toe. Christine was walking him when it happened and probably saved his life by kicking and punching the dogs and holding on to his leash. Thankfully a neighbor came out to help before I rushed out there. Avery was peacefully inside the house during the whole ordeal.

Bailey is physically getting better but mentally he currently is a different dog. Hopefully with time he will be back to the playful loving dog that he is.

On to a much happier topic, Avery. She is getting bigger , giving us smiles, and doing a great job of eating and pooping. The last picture is us trying to find a little bit of joy in Bailey's situation and taking advantage of him being on two different pain meds.

Poor Bailey!! How traumatizing. I hope that he recovers to his full normal self, although it may take a while.

Avery is so tiny! So adorable! I love that last picture - it's one for the frames!
