As promised here is an update..Hubby's hand is now fine (no infection) and Rylie is gaining strength and becoming more active everyday. :o)) She even had a short walk-about in our backyard! After her vet check-up yesterday, she was put on a heavy doses of antibiotics as some of the bite marks were infected...common with dog bites! But she is on the mend and for this, we are thankful!
Hubby filed reports with the RCMP (the office closes on the weekend...yes, we live out in the country), and also with the SPCA and with the Cowichan Valley Regional District. Now we just wait and see. Our daughters got busy and posted an alert for the the Cowichan Valley residents regarding this Pit Bull and the Boston Terrier (and it's owner) on Facebook and had over 400 Shares! This social media outlet 'thing' is something else! Awareness and educating the public is key to finding this vicious dog and his owner... and it's a good reminder for the public to take extra precaution with their own dogs and children. Time will tell...

| Here's our little girl in her body suit...this is to help prevent Rylie from chewing her stitches. Her drains are now out...thank goodness, as it looked like straws stitching out of her neck! Just a little unsettling, to say the least... |
 |
| She spends most of her time under the covers sleeping...which is just what the doctor ordered! |
On the quilting front...I am continuing to work on stitching down those stars on my Wee House Quilt during my Heritage Guild mornings...I have only THREE more stars left to stitch! Yes, sewing goes quickly when you talk and sew, talk and sew!! Ok...maybe there's been more talking than sewing...but it's all good! haha
Have a terrific Tuesday and happy stitching!!
Oh my goodness I missed the post about your precious Riley and hubby. I'm so sorry for all of you. How scary for everyone. I'm glad your pup will be ok and hubby is doing good as well. Goodness I just can't imagine how scary that all was and in split second time. Sending you all hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Rylie will be ok, as will your husband. But so sorry that this happened as I'm sure it will cause nightmare for all for years to come. I am proud of you to report this to various agencies, as well as to let others in the area know. I hope the owners of the Pit Bull are caught and action is taken to ensure this dog does not attack other dogs, nor children in the future.

Ahhh...I totally missed this post! I am so sorry but so happy to hear everyone is mending. I pray Rylie and your husband continue to heal and mend well. Gentle hugs from me to you all!!
ReplyDeleteI have had this happen to my Pepper and it is so scary and happens all to quickly! Love your house quilt!!
Hi Paulette, thanks for the update. I good to hear your family is on the mend. Becki
ReplyDeleteHi Paulette, thanks for the update. I good to hear your family is on the mend. Becki
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the update and things are on the mend. Enjoy your blog. Am waiting to hear what is lurking for the red dressed man.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your pup is on the mend Paulette (and Hubby too) - that sounded absolutely terrifying, and I don't own a pet! Love your house quilt - it's a nice take on the original design. Have fun with your Secret Santa Sewing....
ReplyDeleteLovely to see sweet Rylie is on the mend. And hubby as well. Hope you get some satisfaction from the people that own the dog. Hate to say it, but a dog this vicious should probably be put down before he does more damage to other helpless animals.
ReplyDeleteThe Wee Houses quilt is looking gorgeous and the big stitch quilting will be just the right touch. Hope to see it soon.
So happy to hear that your sweet Rylie is on the mend and that your husband is doing well. I can only imagine how terrifying this was for you both.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed with people and their lack of accountability. That in itself is horrifying!
Take care ...your houses are lovely!
Catching up with your blog today I feel sick to my stomach reading about what happened to Rylie. Poor little soul. Kudos to your husband for fighting off her assailants... he's a hero. I do hope the authorites trace the morons who own those dogs. I know what I'd like to do to them.... but I don't think it's legal and I really wouldn't enjoy prison food!
ReplyDeleteHope Rylie's recovery is swift and her confidence hasn't taken too much of a knock.......xxx
Glad to hear that Rylie is recovering. What a terrible story!! I can't believe the owners of the attack dogs didn't say anything by way of apology. I do hope the police and SPCA are able to track down the owners!
ReplyDeleteAww...answered prayers. Rylie is so sweet. Love the body suit. I would imagine that it gives her some sense of calm and protection as well. I'm sending her a gentle hug!
ReplyDeleteAs for you...you baaaad influence! I fell off the wagon and ordered "that" pattern a couple of days ago, and I'm blaming it on you and your taunting!

She is such a darling little dog! So glad she's going to be okay. Hubby too. :)
ReplyDeletePoor little darling, I'm glad to hear she's improving. Such a scary experience for you all.
ReplyDeletePoor Rylie! She is not looking too happy just yet. But I'm glad to know that the vet is confident she's on the mend!
ReplyDeleteI love your starry borders, and your quilting plan sounds very promising!
I was thinking about Rylie this morning. So glad your sweet girl is on the mend. Your house quilt is lovely and thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteSo glad hubby and Rylie on the mend. Glad you have got the word out about these dogs and bad owners.

Good news about Rylie !! Unbelievable story ! Your tree quilt looks great, as your projects always do !! I truly miss your husband's postings on Blogger and hope he's recovering ! He posted such wonderful pictures of your grandson and your many adventures !!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear Rylie is doing better. I hope she chasing squirrels and bugs soon. Social media is a tremendous resource when getting the word out.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to read your last post, I am so sorry you and your husband had to go through that. I see that so much with owners who let their dogs roam free or even come near Bean and all Bean wants is to say hi and be buddies and then next thing I know their dog is snapping at Bean. I had dogs that were nervous biters so I kept them on a tight leash and away from others. I am glad to see they are healing and ok. Your quilt is coming along beautifully. I will do some quilting once I get done with the holidays, in the mood for some new quilts and I got an idea for a theme in the guest room.

Poor little Rylie! I am glad to hear she is recovering. Love your little houses!
ReplyDeleteOne just wants to pick Rylie up give her loads of cuddles but I know she is loved very much and is not missing one second of said love and attention but my heart still aches for her. So glad all is well for hubby but it could so easily have gone the other way, thank goodness it didn't. Social media definitely can be used for good and this is a prime example, good luck on catching the culprits. Hugs to all.
ReplyDeleteso good to read both Rylie and DH are recovering. Hopefully the dogs and owner will be tracked down and dealt with not that it will help Ryllie but might save another dog from being attacked. quilt looking great
ReplyDeleteOh Paulette! What a horrible experience! I do hope they catch these people. They had to know your husband and dog were both injured and then to drive away. How horrible! Gentle pats of love to your Rylie and pats of courage to your husband.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your update on Rylie and your husband. Also on those 'people' and their dogs. It truly is just shocking that someone who behave that way! What is wrong with people anymore?
ReplyDeleteYour Wee House quilt is really looking great - I can't wait to see your Big Stitch quilting!
So sorry to hear of your puppy and hubby's scary outing. I'm a little behind on my blog reading, but I just read about it. I hope healing comes quickly. Some owners are just clueless.
ReplyDeleteGreat news about the recovering patients Paulette. May everything going forward be good. Glad you are keeping your hands busy.
