He was attacked in our kitchen a couple of days ago by a visiting Pit-Bull Mix.
This dog had come in via our open back door, my neighbor's had a visitor and they didn't know He was out of my neighbor's Apt.

You may me scream "No", even across town, when this dog attacked little Tico,
shaking his limp body back and forth. .
As I screamed, I threw myself down on the floor to reach in the dog's jaws and attempt to pull Tico out. I really don't recall what all I did, but I believe I was pulling Tico out, hitting the dog in the face, and screaming harshly at the top of my lungs.

I was sure Tico was goner.
I felt liquid pouring down which turned out to be water from Tico's water bowl, but I imagined it in those moments to be his blood.
My Partner was there kicking the Pit-Bull and yelling at him to get out.
It took me 2 tries of what-ever I was doing to pull Tico out.
He was so scared.
Any of you familiar with Dogs will know what that smell that smell is that they emit when in extreme fright.
I cradled Tico in my arms, looking for wounds, lo and behold, I didn't right away find the puncture wounds, which I would find later.
I tell ya, I was so scared. He was so scared. But other than those puncture wounds, He's alive and well, and still wanting to play fetch.
I hate that this event will now make me wary of Pit Bulls, but I will be.
Amazingly enough I only suffered a big bump the back of my head,
along with a scuff on our floor from my jeans.
Tico seems to have forgotten about it, (finally, though it took hours for him after the incident).

I've been easy for anger in the days that have followed.
If you believe in Prayer and/or Love Energy send it my way.
I'm feeling a bit distrustful of Life at the moment.
We have instructed our neighbors to let us know when a Dog is visiting their Apt. downstairs, We will close our back door, and lock it!
Better Yet, Don't let that dog come over again.
In no way Do I want to say this is true of all Pit-Bulls and that I believe them to be a Bad breed, they're not.
Tico had a cute little female Pit-Bull that was owned by my Partner's Niece's Boy Friend at the time, and they were wonderful together.
