Thank you to ((HereIamBp)), ((Notz)), ((PerpetuallySad)), ((Sabrina)) and ((Sabby)) for taking the time to show caring and concern.

I'm feeling a little better today, but I'm still struggling with the stress - I have a lot of tightness from my shoulders up. When I think too much I tense up. Several times I keep imagining, what might have happened if I was a second late because that's how close it was. It would have destroyed me if the dog bit her. I have to remind myself to focus on the positives here and not the 'what if's' - and we're not victims but survivors.

When I was the victim of a break and enter 13 yrs ago, I did the same thing at 1st - imagining what if I didn't show I was strong to those guys. It took me 3 months later to switch my thinking from a 'victim of crime' to a 'survivor of crime'.

I'm very disappointed in the police. I thought if someone calls the police, they come in a reasonable time, especially when they could hear we were all very upset on the phone. I don't know if the dogs eventually went home or continued to wander. I've never seen them being walked in my neighborhood, so I don't know where they live. Even though I slept, I feel very tired.
