I have a home daycare that specializes in infants. I currently have 2 10 month old little boys and an almost 4 month old little guy. I have a Boston Terrier, Cookie, that is amazing with the babies. When one of the boys was tiny his mom liked to joke that the only thing that made her super fussy baby happy was the dog.
Almost 3 weeks ago I opened my front door and a random pit bull ran in and grabbed Cookie. My kids (13+16) helped me grab the babies and run to lock themselves in a bedroom. I went back to fight the dog with the help of the man that had knocked on the door.
We were able to force the pit bull to let go and he ran away. Cookie was severely injured. I had to make the call to the parents that they needed to come and get their babies immediately because there was a dog attack..in my living room. My living room was covered in blood and poop and pee. It was like a war zone in here.
The older babies were looking out the window when the dog attacked, and praise God the tiny one was in his bed. The dog dragged cookie into the middle of my living room to attack her. This is where my babies play all day every day. It could have been so much worse than it was. I was terrified that the parents were going to fire me. Thankfully every single one of them (moms+dads) thanked me for protecting their babies. I have amazing parents.
Cookie has been at the vet for nearly three weeks now. She has had to have multiple surgeries. Her vet bills are astronomical. We went through every dime of our savings and are struggling to pay our current bills. Praise God the vet is willing to work with us as far as spacing the payments out a bit. We have already racked up thousands of dollars, and the vet still isn't sure when we will be able to bring her home.
Thanks!
