Dog Bite


P9070452, originally uploaded by A Family On A Mission.

The day before we had to move from our old home to another, Ceara was playing with her neighbor friends in their yard. We are not exactly sure what happened, just that the kids were bugging their Saint Bernard and Ceara was bitten by the dog right beside her eye. She came running to the house as we were in the middle of packing for the move and was bleeding on her face. I worried that she had been bitten on her eye, but luckily it missed her eye just barely. We rushed her to the hospital were she was cleaned and a plastic surgeon joined up the bite so that it would have the least amount of scarring. Seems like our family, or at least us girls have bad luck with dogs. Luckily, we knew the neighbors dog and it had had all it's shots so we didn't have to worry about Ceara needing rabies shots too. She has healed from the bite but now has a pretty large scar by her eye. It will take time to fade but it's already less then when it first happened. It doesn't take away from her beauty but it will be a reminder to her to be careful when it comes to dogs, at least we hope it is.
