Thank you to ((Rohag)), ((Byz)), ((AAAAA))) and ((Julial))) for your caring responses.
Thank you also to ((ELysium)) for sharing your bad experiences.

AAAAA - I'm so sorry for the terrible attack on your daughter. You're right it's the fault of irresponsible owners. My dog doesn't wander around and if she does escape we're right behind her.

((Theo)) - thank you for your caring and concern. We have a dog park in our area too and we've had a couple bad experiences. Do you think it best to avoid dog parks?

I'm feeling a little more calm, but very edgy and exhausted. I have a terrible headache and my TMJ is acting up(clenching my teeth). Later on I let my daughter go play with her friend down the street, to get her mind off the incident.

Later on, when she came back, she was in her room for a while and she came downstairs and told me and my oldest to sit down with her. She gave us each a home made card, which said "I love you and thanks for saving my life" - brought tears to my eyes and we all hugged. She gave me a sticker on my shirt that says "cool".

A few yrs before I had my girls I had 2 men break into my house while I was home. For 3 months after I was extremely nervous. I didn't know at the time but I think it was PTSD. I hope in a few days I'll be back to normal. Thanks again for caring.
